Looking For A Gem

Decided today to stay out of the downtown corp area and try to find some 'gems'. We found one in a shop owner who's shop we walked into and was given an oral history of New Mexico. What an interesting guy. I could have sat there and listened to him all day. We'll visit again if we come back again.

Bruce's first oil painting

   Got to do my first oil.  There were 3 of us in class. We each picked out a subject in a magazine and painted it. This one was mine.  I still have a few things to do to finish it.

Pam's First Painting

   Also Tana's, Hannah's, and Kendall's painting

Boots and Saddles

   The Winter storm warnings are over for now and I suspect things are returning to normal in AZ. So it's time to load up and head to Taos. Lot of art galleries there to walk through and get inspired. It'll be a two day trip to get there.
   There's still snow on the ground here. I see through Facebook that there's snow in Ketchikan.
   Need to go out and get the truck ready for the trip.
   Hope 2011 is a good one for everyone.
   The above sketch was done from a photo I took while walking on the docks in Ketchikan, Alaska.

New Year's Resolution... No snowflake will touch my head.

Like all resolutions, that one was shot to H this morning. It's snowing and cold. Another resolution is to buy only t-shirts and shorts. We'll see how that works out.
I finally got on Facebook. Still trying to figure that out.
Having fun with the grand daughters. Also looking online at Ancestors.com . That's been interesting and very informative.
Guess it's time to brave the cold and snow.
Happy New Year to everyone and stay safe.

Typical Day

Well, I believe all the Christmas shopping is done. Least ways I'm done with it. Now to relax and drive around to see all the Christmas lights.
Sunny, but cool today. Need to start sketching my next piece I'm going to paint. A snowboarder.
BTW, I started a Facebook page.

The Wall

   65 here today outside Denver. Went shopping again today. Pam in one store and me in Home Depot. Just shopped for stocking stuffers for the G daughters.
   The above video is from some of the art I've done. Something to look at while you're visiting.
