There is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit - appropriately credited to many, including Harry S. Truman, General George C. Marshall, Ronald Reagan and Coach John Wooden
So my girl friend says this morning, "John, would you pick up some eggs?". Sure, no problem. Except she usually buys expensive organic brown eggs, but I usually get the cheaper white eggs. So to appeaser her, I bought the white eggs and some Easter egg dye and made some brown eggs (and blue, etc.). Don't think I saved any money, but had fun. Got a great reaction from her when she found the eggs in the refrigerator. Now she does not want to break them. Yes, they are raw eggs.
Spent the weekend at Topaz Lake, NV. Getting ready for the Route 66 trip in mid- April. Could have done without the snow. Still had fun, except for the casino. Made a long list of stuff to gather before the long trip. "Roadee", the Airstream, is a pleasure to tow compared to the "white boxes".
Did this mural, as well as a faux finish on a fireplace, last week. Thought the wall treatment around the stove was pretty unique. While painting it, there was a sheet of hardboard and a drop cloth on the stove. My paint sat on the drop. Thought a similar arrangement in the studio would be nice (without the stove). Paint down front, canvas or board on the wall, and shelves to the side for other stuff. Might even be able to sit on a stool. Going to give it some thought.
Attended a memorial service this evening for "Big" Bob Tara, the Ski Patrol Supervisor at Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe. Bob had a heart attack last week after sitting down in a chair lift going up the mountain. He was 58, a former linebacker with the Canadian Football Leaque, and a huge man, both in stature and admiration. Ski patrolers from many resorts were at the service, which started outside with a flare ski by patrollers, then moved inside. Very emotional.
I am a mural artist working throughout the West Coast. I also do fine art, specifically photography, painting, intaglio and serigraph printmaking and drawing. I am formerly a graphic designer from the "old school", but got out shortly after the computer came along. Did it for 23 years, though. Also taught several college art classes in San Diego and Lake Tahoe, but enjoyed teaching screen printing the most.
