I just completed my second trip to Austin, Texas and the Wizard Academy. I am pictured here painting the Dulcinea Chapel three months ago. This time however I was there to do a program called ‘Di Vinci’ and the 40 Answers . The people attending were not artists, however they are some of the most dynamic and talented people in North America. The former chief engineer of the Space Shuttle program gave the presentation and WOW! a more creative and dynamic person is Mark Fox. I am now eqipped with a body of information to increase my creativity, production and sale of my work. I am truely walking on air and can’t wait ti be in the studio. Stay tuned!!

I have been really busy in the studio painting. I have several new pieces for  the new gallery Mountain Trails here in Santa  Fe. I was in Indianapolis last month as a judge in the Hoosier Salon Show at the Indianapolis Art Museum. What a job! Many fine paintings submitted.  I will be doing a 5 day workshop at the  Middletown Arts Center in Middletown Ohio on November  10-14 2008 and will be in Palm Desert, California for the National American Impressionist show opening on November 22.

I have two new paintings in Mountain Trails Gallery at 200 Old Santa Fe Trail. Stop in and take a look. Will be in Montana for the Oil Painters of America show.

I am happy to say that I won an Award of Excellence at the show for my painting “Gentle Flight”. And the painting sold at the show. May 7.

The Nomadas del Arte show was great. Many fine painters represented and one of mine sold! Always good news. I am happy to say that I now have a gallery in Santa Fe. It is Mountain Trails Gallery and I am excited to be working with a great group of people there. I don’t have any work there at the moment, however I am busy working on changing that very soon.

Also, looking forward to the National Oil Painters of America show in Missoula Montana on May 2. My painting ‘Gentle Flight’ was selected for the show. You can see this painting on the site under ‘landscapes’.

Well after a few snowstorms and three days of driving we made it to our new home. I am really excited to be here and to get painting. I am  looking forward to a painting trip to Austin Texas next month to paint with friends at the Wizard Academy. They say it will be Bluebell  season.
