I am a painter working in pastels, with some oils, and acrylics. I sketch in pen and ink. As an artist my original paintings are influenced from living in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, and travels throughout much of Canada and forty-nine of our fifty States. This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art and a little about golf and UT Baseball.

Preparing for the "Trip"
We are packing, packing and trying to get all in order for our summer. We went to dinner with Joanna and Larry last night for Joanna's birthday. That was great. Always nice to see the kiddos!
Today I need to make inventory lists, tickets for door prize, get my surfaces ready and make sure I have all my stuff for the show ready. In between we will be washing clothes and getting the house ready. Whew, lots to do.
More later.....
You can see this one in Magdalena at Old Timers. Hope to see you there.
