Working

Once again I am working as a tax preparer for the tax season, so I will not be doing much painting, however, I have started a series of fancy roosters.  The art organization I belong to, Artists of the South Corridor, has a new exhibit space, Chuck's Deli, in Manchaca, TX.  We will be hanging our first exhibit in this gallery space in February and changing paintings monthly.  You can find more of my paintings on artistsofthesouthcorridor.com. Please drop by and take a look.

Update

I have not been keeping up my blog lately, but will try to improve in the future.  It has been a busy year this year.  Mostly I visited with my friends at the two senior groups I belong to: Kyle Seniors (KASZ) and Buda Seniors (Onion Creek Senior Citizens).  We play games and have many activities such as a poker night, a bingo night, exercise classes, movie night and line dancing.  Keeps me busy. I also particapated in the Buda Fine Arts Festival where I showed my work with 4 other artists from the Artists of the South Corridor group. 

Painting

I am painting again and will have something to show in a couple of days.  I am so excited to be back to my oils.

Onion drawing

I created this onion picture for the cover of the Onion Creek Senior Citizens membership directory.  I enjoyed working with grafite again and may do more in the future.

More photos of our cruise.  These are of Grand Cayman Island.  The top one is a small look at the beach though twisted trees, then a photo of one of the chickens.  There are chickens running loose all over the island.  They are wild and very pretty.  There is lots of dense tree growth.  The island is very warm and it rains alot.  Really enjoyed this adventure.

We ended our tour at this local brewery and had samples.  Very tasty dark beer.

This is the oldest house on the island, made with mud and sticks.  Seems the little pigs had the right idea afterall.  This house has withstood many hurricanes that have wiped out more modern houses.
