Making Do with Studio Work
I’ve been making do with studio work lately. I’d really like to get out and paint but the weather has been a bit uncooperative…too cold, too much snow, too rainy…you know.

It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. This is the view from my gallery/studio. We really needed the moisture and it made everything absolutely beautiful.

A Work of Art in the Lone Cone Saloon and Restaurant
There is a real work of art in the great Lone Cone Saloon and Restaurant in Norwood, Colorado.I say great because aside from a really good green chili cheese burger, they have a magnificent bar and liquor cabinet.
