This is 12x8 mixed media piece was done a couple of years ago. I titled it "Night", and scratched the title into the black band under the Bear. (You cannot see it in the photograph.) The image came from a childhood memory of when I was about 3 or 4 years old and my father moved our house on a flat bed truck to the ranch he purchased. In rural Wyoming this was not the norm, but it wasn't all that unusual either. However, it was strange for me as a child to see my home on a truck going down the highway ahead of the car I was riding in with my mother and brother. Much later, in my late forties, I dreamed I was standing on top of the house being pulled by a truck, and my father was swerving, trying to knock me off the roof. In addition, there was a bear below the house. Interestingly, it was not a nightmare....it was only fascinating, and it required me to "balance".

The end of April.
In December I set up this blog, really just to see how to do it. I didn't really announce it to anyone, and I didn't post anything again. Now that it is Spring and I am finished with my winter hibernation, I am ready to communicate. In fact I may actually tell people about my blog and do regular postings!
Monday morning I will hang work at the 1st Community Bank lobby in Taos, NM. It is right on the Plaza and so it gets quite a bit of traffic. There isn't a great amount of area for art, so I will hangs smaller landscape work, about half watercolor and half oil.
After attending a marketing conference in L.A., I taught myself how to publish an e-zine. It took awhile for me to set it up, given my technology weakness, but I am hopeful the next attempt will be easier. Mostly I did it to advertise 4 mixed media workshops I intend to have in my studio this summer. I will have to learn how to link up my e-zine email to this blog!
The workshops are 2 days and limited to a maximum of 6 persons. The dates are: June 12th and 13th, June 19th and 20th, July 17th and 18th, and July 24th and 25th. Since announcing the classes this week, the first class is nearly filled.
