The days are longer, the water is warmer, and the boats are going in the lake. Sailboat racing season is here! Yours truly will be vigorously pursuing first place finishes three or four times a week until Labor Day. I’ll be racing my Laser on Thursday mornings. I hope to prove to my grandson Oliver that experience and treachery will defeat youth and skill every time! Tuesday and Friday evenings and most weekends the intrepid crew of our 33 foot Frers racing sloop, Valkyrie, will be making me look like the helmsman I’ve always hoped to be! They do the work, I get credit for the victories! What a life!

I’ve been enjoying learning more about Mitchell Johnson’s work recently. His use of color and composition is very interesting to me. His paintings are usually in a softer palette than I typically choose. But his implementation of complementary colors and analogous color harmony are very familiar to me. The work is often ABOUT color. I can relate to that!


I find his work inspiring.

It’s all part of living the dream!  Some days I paint.  Some days I build crates.

Back in 1977 I got a Skil Saw for Christmas from my folks.  That baby still comes in handy, even though the trigger on off switch hasn’t been functional for years.  I plug her in, she goes on, unplug her, she goes off.  The OSHA safety gods are frowning, I know.


These two plywood boxes hit the road today carrying 23 new oil paintings for my upcoming exhibition at Ventana Fine Art in Santa Fe. Mark your calendars for the virtual online opening on July 17th. Another aspect of our life in the times of the pandemic.


I’m enchanted by these new paintings! All false modesty aside, I'm certain this is the best work of my life! I’ll post pictures, we’ll see if you agree.
