High Desert Winter Sage at Dusk

Hello my friends,

Well, I've been busy getting some more paintings done to put up onto my Etsy Shop for my Holiday Sale.
My favorite from this week is a High Desert scene at Dusk.  More often then not the high desert let's say at abut 6000 feet above sea level in NM does not get a lot of snow - but it does snow. The good part is because of the abundance of sunshine ( avg. 320 days per year) the snow can be all melted come 1 PM!!!!!

New Mexico has some of the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen.  That said and I just said it - living in Florida now there are some very beautiful sunset but I would still vote New Mexico to have better ones.

Decision Time Again

Hello my friends,

Once again I am changing the format of my blog.

When we were full time RV-ing I had a lot of followers and my blog would average 2,500 - 3,000 hits per month. Since we had to stop our full time RV-ing the number of blog followers has decreased by more than one half.

This certainly speaks to the fact that the RV journey seems to have been the more interesting aspect of my blog. This is all well and good as I paint for my own enjoyment and if others enjoy my work that's nice but not a necessity.

Therefore starting with this post I am going back to  my format of presenting one painting each week.  There is considerable time spent in preparing a blog posting of many paintings as well as a blog that I try to make interesting for the readers.

So I hope you enjoy the new presentation of my blog.  I think it is a win/win situation as it will take me less time to prepare it and will take you the viewer less time to read it.  :>)

A week has passed!!!!

Yo my friends,

Well, another week has passed - see how quickly time flies when you are having fun!!!!!

I did some more "Marsh Land" paintings as well as a "Dune Grasses" piece.  For those of you who are getting tired of Marsh Lands - I apologize - but to your misfortune - I love Marshes and Marshes it shall be :>)  Having just said that and I did just say that, I hope you will be pleased with the presentations this week.  If not, fear not - as we know time flies quickly when you are having fun and before you know it I'LL  BE BAAAAACCCCCCK!!  :>)
