Time to get productive…
It's been about two weeks, I think, since the last post. Sorry, guess I've just been busy.The brick is still being slowly laid in the great drying out of the room that held the hot tub. Sand is mostly dry now, and the adobes are dry, but the mud in between is still...
Painting on a wet, grey chilly afternoon
Well, it's not Sunday, but close enough and I need to let my painting dry. May take a while since its watercolor on canvas and its' pouring a cold rain outside. Relaxing though. Actually, just cold enough to make long for the encaustic again. There's really just...
painting, videos and stuff
Things have slowed to a crawl here in Angel Fire, and dismay with the local newspaper notwithstanding I've been in painting bliss. Free speech had nothing to do with it. That they printed a blatant attack on the character of our Mayor, our new CEO of the EDO, and the...
Been a while, but got a new video!
Hi. I know, it's been a while. I normally post on Sundays, but the past few I've been traveling. Playing catch up now. At any rate, I did manage to get a new Watercolor Technique video out. Jacqui Binford-Bell stopped by the gallery to show us how she pours watercolor...

A Gallery Owner’s Guide to Framing: Why it’s framed…or Why not?
I wrote this for my newsletter and it got alot of attention...so it is for you:We've all been there. We find a great little piece and think "I love it, but I don't love the frame." The Gallery owner may say, "No Problem..I'll take it out" or...No Can Do." Why? What's...
I’m Back!
Wow. I can't believe what a blur July was! Fabulous, though, if I do say so myself! Thanks to all the hard work by Texas Tech theatre students, my board members and all the volunteers who helped make this season of live theatre a success. As you may have guessed my...
Bright Sunshine
Wow, what a difference 12 hours can make! Though it was a frigid start (19 at my house) the wonderful New Mexico sunshine is warming the air and melting the snow. I'm back at the gallery and preparing for a class this afternoon..."Pouring Watercolor and Innovative...
