“Moon Rise” was excepted in to Celebrating Life 2022. I plan on attending the reception this alert noon.
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I’m in good health I took a break because my creative muse stopped. My muse was letting me know I was not fine. I removed Facebook and Twitter from my phone and pulled my work from from Las Vegas Artist Guild and City of World gallery’s. I covered the a large painting in my studio. Stopping “social media” I was no longer being pushed to be mad at something out of my control. Pulling my paintings let the pressure off my muse. It took months of to get back to where I was able to uncover my painting from March and put it away for later and put a new paper on a board.
So here is things moving forward. I will be feeding my muse with trips to beautiful places every month. I no longer look at social media. I will be posting my paintings on Facebook, Tumbler, and Instagram because it’s where people are.

I’ve been excepted into Gallery to Go art vending machines run by Nicole Cochener. I’ve made 15 original 5” x 7” watercolor with blank cards and envelopes. I will be dropping off the cards this week at her gallery Squishy Studio at the Arts Factory.
The themes for the watercolor paintings are Fall in the Canyon, Red Sail, Purple reflection, Grass is always greener and Cold winter’s night. I don’t like painting on cards so each watercolor painting is painted on good quality paper. There’s four paintings per paper, the paper is cut to 5” x 7” and mounted on a blank card.
My watercolor painting Cow Skull will be at Las Vegas Artist Guild Gallery at the Galleria Mall for the month of September
I moved walls at City of the World Gallery. It’s a smaller wall but in a better location. I have two 37” x 25” Watercolor Abstract Landscape, a smaller watercolor “Dugout” and baskets of Photos, Cards, Prints, and original watercolor paintings
City of the world gallery is located at Meadows mall, right of the down stairs entrance to Macy’s
