Moving Forward

I haven't created a post in over a year....so many changes....."shifts," rather than anything radical. October 2018, a good month spent in Colorado. It began with several days in Colorado Springs, much of it spent working with Bonnie Olson on her father's (L.H. "Ben" Benschneider) archive.
The work isn't completed, but possibly will be later this year....placing much of it in the collections of Colorado College, and possibly the Pioneer Museum and Pikes Peak Library.

Hooked up with my pal Chester Murphy in Trinidad, and then we visited Bishop's Castle, the Great Sand Dunes, Colorado Gator Farm and Bob and Maggie Sauer in Durango.




A great deal of joint work occurred in 2019, as Raven had her left ACL surgically repaired in January, and her right ACL in November. 



She is now the bionic dog.... 

       Oh, and I got a new hip in October which, in retrospect, was about five years over due....Now, I'm pain free and much more mobile!

                                                         Might was well throw that one in, too!

2020 is shaping up to bring new adventures, which I'm eagerly looking forward to experiencing.

Marking 3 Years

I moved to Trinidad in mid June 2020, and opened 221B Gallery at the end of 2021. I've had the pleasure of presenting work from Steven Benson (Orlando, Florida), Hans Droog (Trinidad, soon St. Louis), Jo-Anne Green (Boston), Sheigla Hartman (Trinidad), Bonnie Lambert (Helena, Montana), Bobby Neel Adams (Bisbee, Arizona), Robert Welkie (Los Angeles) and Jennifer Korsen (Los Angeles - who also created a mural on an exterior gallery wall). Work from Ken Abbott (Asheville, North Carolina) goes up tomorrow.  Raven, my faithful companion for 9 years who traveled with me to ten states, passed away in April.    10 week old Tyche arrived in the household at the beginning of June, and siblings Anton Chekhov (male tabby) and Ava Gardner (female calico) are not thrilled about having to baby-sit a third dog, and have to train another from the beginning..... Things are rapidly changing in Trinidad with an expansion of businesses downtown, a new Hilton about to open, Fishers Peak opening new tra
 Groundhog's Day, 2023 My favorite holiday! Little commercialization, 100% American, silly, nothing political or religious and, thanks to Bill Murray, it is fully set in the last generation's consciousness. Tyche, at 10 months, the new pup (birthday at the end of March), a welcome addition as my canine companion.  Ava Gardner and Anton Chekhov, begrudgingly welcomed him into the household in June. After two prior canines, they were sure the house was their domain.  And now there is Margaret.  I'm a lucky guy, off to new adventures.
