Wet Paint: February 2015

Okay so it's that time of year is it? February snows and cold are left behind for the desert oasis of southern Cali and climes told of in those tourism brochures... but these are true! Tyler and I will leave on Saturday for the four day drive out west, with stops in Jackson MS, Big Spring TX, Tucson AZ. We'll be driving the new Artmobile, named Bertha Ford, for her maiden voyage across these United States. She's a 15 passenger van, converted to haul long neck ladies of which the count is now at 65... I had to paint for the past three weeks with abandon. But all is as of today ready. Amazing that I actually have two days of putzing around. I might get to have a conversation with Gail that lasts more than 15 minutes... Tyler came to the studio and framed everything for me. We have had some really good times traveling and this time I Audibled "The History of the United States from 1492," Robinson Crusoe," and a collection of Sherlock Holmes... we're phat with the story-telling. We are in the able hands of Bill and Denise Zolbert once again. Their casita has become our "home away from home" and their hospitality is immense. Bob and Sandy are expected as are Bob and Bev, Janice and Ray... it's like a traveling circus and a bevvy of friends! How blessed are we! I'm putting the new pieces below for a sneak preview for those who know the skinny on the blog...
