Old Timers On the Calendar

Well, it looks like I will have my eighth annual show at Peppers Art Gallery in Magdalena, New Mexico, this year.  We will plan on it for now anyway.  Marky Bamert, owner, has been pretty ill and has the buildings for sale.   This post is about last year where you can see more photos.

The Old Timers Reunion is on for July 8, 9 and 10.  There is a rodeo for the Old Timers, the cowboys have to be at least 50 years old to take part with the exception of team competitions,  For team roping the two cowboys have to add up to 100, so it could be a 30 year old and a 70 year old ropers.  They have a play in the evenings, barbeque on Saturday, breakfast on Sunday Morning, crowning of the Queen and a parade on Saturday.  It should be fun and we get to see lots of people that we haven't seen in ages.

For my part, we set up my paintings at Peppers.  I paint outside on Friday and Sunday and have a reception on Saturday after the parade.  So, can we count on you to be there?

This is a Photo of Peppers in April of this year.

Magdalena Mountain in April of this year.  So dry.

Such a big difference in the green!  Hope we get some good rains and the wind quits blowing!

More details to follow as we get ready.

Having a show to prepare for should certainly help with the painter's block. I'm glad for your show. It is a good reason to go back to Magdalena.

Sheila, thanks. All of New Mexico was green that year. It was so beautiful and wildflowers everywhere. The yucca was fantastic.

Joanna, I have to get with it now. I've got a reason to paint. Ha.

Bag Blog, for sure I will have to get busy. It is about the only reason to go to Magdalena these days. Gene has one sister still there. There is only one restaurant and one bar! Yikes. Oh, and a good coffee shop. We will have to stay in Socorro, the new motel and the oldest one are closed, too.
