I am an artist that paints 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 all our fifty States.
This is my spot for posting paintings and sketches, to muse mostly about art, life and a little about UT Baseball.
Actually it is colorful and person. Two items on the new Hunt. I sketched at the dentist's office. I started the person and just about had his head done when they called me back. I had to finish him from memory. I'm not sure where his feet were but they were crossed and it was interesting.
I used the windows from the room I was in. There are 3 stained glass windows. I just finished the middle one. The main glass is rough and clear so looks sort of gray and then the bright colors. The office has beautiful adornments. I think the benches are from the train station which is what the building was. Completely rebuilt. There are stained glass windows in the front main office as well. Similar.
Number 1 person Number 2 colorful - window I used a Micron 03 in the small Strathmore sketchbook and added the color at home.
And the windows. There are shaded on the bottom windows which were pulled down as the sun was coming in.
I'm finished with the dentist for a while. They put some bone filler where they pulled my tooth the other day and now I have to decide about an implant or a partial. Thinking about that. Implants are so expensive and the result will be months away. Hmmmm.
A good friend is in the hospital. Pray for our friend, Alexis, and her family. Thank you.

I went downtown and drove around looking for shade to sit in my mobile studio. It was about 90ยบ F. but not too bad in the shade. One of the historical homes had a dozen or so of the old metal lawn chairs in bunches in the yard. Fun to see.
Number 5 building, part of the old home - in the Ohuhu sketchbook with an Ohuhu #2 pen and watercolors. There were big overhead trees for the shade but I just sketched this corner of the house.
We went to PT today. It was to have been my last day but I have a sore ankle so I'm going a few more times to work that out. I don't know how I strained it or sprained it but it has been sore for a couple of weeks.
We were off to Physical Therapy for Gene today. I stayed inside where it was cool and sketched a couple more of the cool tissue boxes. I didn't make them large enough to put on the lettering in white as it should be. Clever, the brand is Park.
Number 3, rectangle, the sides of the tissue boxes. I love them. The lavender one says, "Your the Bee's Sneeze" and the green one says, "Easy Breezy Sneezy".
Number 4, curved - the mini planter and plant, about 4 inches high
These are in the Ohuhu sketchbook with Ohuhu pens and watercolor. I wrote Micron 03 on the sketch as that is the pen I use the most. Habits are hard to break.
I had a lot of work done at Spring Street Dental in Bastrop yesterday. They are so good and supportive. The staff are happy and smiling. I wish I had had that type of dentists in the past. I have dreaded going my whole life. It is pretty late in my life to get good dental work done. One thing they do is prep and make and put in a crown in one sitting. Yesterday I had a crown, tooth pulled, teeth cleaned in about 2 1/2 hours. I'm fine today, no pain or swelling. I'm a happy camper. I have more to do next week but there is no fear!

I Grew up in a small town , Magdalena, New Mexico. I enjoy art and the pleasure other people get from my work. I always donate some of my sales and art to charities, especially for children. That started in Bolivia with Para los Niรฑos.
