Progress
I did say I would post this image, from the plate in “Prelude to a Squish”. I don’t have a title yet, not unusual for this stage in the proceedings. It’s 42×30″, and contrary to the original post, I don’t think it’s “finished” yet. This sort of indecision is also not unusual. I like to…

Hard at work, getting ready for a show in Salida, CO. The complete info is on my Facebook page. Here’s a link. For those in Denver or the Rockies, it’s a great little daytrip, and you get a good view of College Peaks. The show itself is right on the Arkansas River. The website for…

The decision to leave my day job came in a rush. I hadn’t planned to leave till 2010, but was presented with a use-it-or-lose-it situation as regards the pension.
