It is raining in Texas.

Good Morning. I awoke this morning to rain on the ground with a few drops from the sky. Oh how we need some rain. I am of course new to this type of thing and I have been trying to get absense etc etc, to my blog. Well I have been sending them thw wrong http:// rural so of course they can not find me. I feel like such an dumb clutch. I finally find the right name this morning.

Well , I am in my studio, the doors open and the cool air is coming pleasenting in the room. I have a floor fan pushing it around, which is wonderful to the last week of stinking hot air as soon as you go out the door.

I have been search the 100s of sites for art for sale and I have to say that it is opening my eyes to the different types of wonderful art, and the most talented artists in this world. I am determined to join the ranks of good artists, and get noticed by a few clients. I know how the price of gas has sky rocketed and how money is tight, so I second guess myself of course, why did I have to try doing my art now. BAD TIMING. But if do not start now it will may never get off the ground.
Oh well thats life.

I see that the Games have started in China. I opening should be amazing don't you think.
I just hope no idoits cause trouble for the poeple trying to win a medal. They deserve the chance of a life time to do their very best for themselves and there country. Poo to the protesters. They nothing to do with politics. Just my thoughts.
Another Picture up next.

Another Day at the Mill.

Good morning. Well it is another day at the mill so to speak. It is already 90 here in TX and will be another scorcher. My studio has a small window unit which works pretty well until round 3 or 4 in the afternoons and then the heat is a little much to keep up with. When I am painting the paints are drying almost as fast as I get from the plate to the painting. I end up doing so paper work and go back to the painting.
I would rather have the heat than the cold and the rain. I am working on 5 leather paintings at one time at the moment, so I do not get stuck in a rut on one. I do not know about any one else who paints but I find that I get stuck on a part, and have to leave it and go back to it later with a fresh mind. I did a commission not long ago and it was the one and only at that point. Well that ONE take twice as long becasuse I just could not get past a certain point. That point was what colour to do one of the dogs. I wanted that one dog to bring out the other dogs in the picture, but everytime I got out a colour and touched it once, I thought STOP thats not it. I did manage to get the painting finished and the guy loved it.

I like so many others have been keeping up with the little girl that is missing. I do not think much of the mother, as she should be going out of her mind with the disappearance of her child. I don't believe a word any of them are saying.

Well bye for now have great day folk.
