I Can't believe it is May already.  We have had such a warm spring that all of the flowers are early by almost a month.  A few weeks ago there were artist's receptions for the Legacy Salon and the Richeson 75.  I wasn't able to attend either one.  I have had artwork accepted...

The title of this was the advice of my chiropractor about six years ago.  My upper back, left shoulder and neck were in constant pain.  I started by using a tripod easel with an adjustable horizontal tray.  This worked well for years then I needed to create some bigger (colored...

I recently received a painting back from a show that was smashed.   I had wrapped it well but, somehow the package had become a bag of jingling shards.   It made me wonder, did it break on the way there or on the way home?  Did it even make it into the...

Time to toot my horn! I found out that I was accepted into the Colored Pencil Society of America's Explore This! 8.  Then I found out that I had won one of the awards.  This can be viewed at www.cpsa.org.  I also found out that my painting The Silver was also accepted into Ann...

Greetings to all!   I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.   The beautiful gallery in Deadwood, Spirited Pony, has closed it's doors.  The gallery in Hill City is closed for the winter and I will pull my stuff out when it reopens for the new fiscal year.  So, I am...

The last Monday of September, Custer State Park, in South Dakota, has a roundup of the bison in the park.  It starts at 9:30 in the morning but, you better be there early!  We left our home (In N.E. Wyoming) at 4:00 A.M. to be there by the time the gates opened at 6:15.  As the...

This week I will be shipping my painting Peonies, Rose and Tatted Lace to Santa Fe.  It is a beautiful show.  I linked it to this blog.  What a beautiful time to go to Santa Fe.  When I lived there the Indian Summer was my favorite time of year.  

This morning American Plains Artists posted the awards and I received an Award of Excellence.   Thank You!

The top 100 for Paint the Parks is posted on the Paint America website.  My painting is on page 7 and is called Morning Run.  I shipped my painting this morning to Kansas!
