How about that February is over for the most part its been an interesting month. We hung the water media show in Seguin Friday . 24 pieces were entered by local Seguin Artist for the show. My flowering piece shown above will be entered in the "in Bloom " show in New Braunfels tomorrow. I feel good about the 5 pieces Paulette and I entered in the Seguin show. Two are shown above. Will try to post the rest in due time.
Tomorrow we enter my "flowering " into the "in Bloom" show in New Braunfels at the Art League.
Yesterday morning I Spilled my coffee on my Iphone and its kaput.
It is better to have had an Iphone and lost it, than to never have had one.
We are planning our itenarary for this year and are going north for visiting and sight seeing. Thinking about West Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colarado, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Missouri, it is time to see what we can before I am no longer able to get around at all.

Funny how a deadline gets you busy

February 15

Off to work on a new piece. I am impatient . The starting stuff often takes hours and gets in the way? But there is no way to get around it. It has to be done so that I can go on the other parts. Ithink this will be another large format collage and water media . Will stick with the idea of the landscape there is a lot of latitude with landscapes.

The first I an gettingg tired of saying that my pieces are almost done suffice it to day they ain't done yet. iSnce I keep saying that I have not finished these two I have been working on for some time.
I believe the two above speak for them selves. But I am working on them. I do see the end in sight. The weather is supposed to be really bad today.

Right now well I guess I did get them done.These are the firstpieces finished in 2010.

February 4

It did stop, 50 degrees and reasonably comfortable, still not done with the paintings. may be today!
Still listening to the political verbiage and nonsense going on.So there is no longer a Democrat party according to our fearless leader. now its only the progressives. He has also relabeled the republicans the birthers in an attempt to minimize there claims. We should call him, the renaming president change the name so they won't know what you are doing.

February 3

Rain, rain go away.

We turned in the piece " contemplating the Cross of Christ" by Bill Wolfram's for the new Church yesterday.

Got both paintings done to where I can almost see the end. The little one needs some work on the upper regions and the larger one needs some blending and some watercolor wash it in some of the regions for the composition to give both depth and consolidation. The end is in sight. When I reach that point I will post the picture in a number of places including here.
