These are the beautiful days of springtime in south Texas, before it
really gets hot! I have two outdoor events this month that I'm looking
forward to, as well as a painting at the Salmagundi Club, some new
videos on Youtube, and a workshop at a fantastic all-inclusive resort
just added to the schedule!

I'm thrilled to have been called off the wait list for the Cottonwood
Art Fest this year! I'll have
some new work since the Bayou City Art fest in Houston in March was a
good one!

Below is a short video of my booth from the art fest in Houston. Some
of these paintings are still available and will be with me in
Richardson...
