Cleaning up



The last couple of pictures that you have seen in the header are some of my older work and why, at one time, i was in demand as a painter. Since my creative juices have been flowing again, I have been trying to do something i never was able to, portraits. So far I am not successful, except for one sketch. the watercolor attempts have not captured the people in a way I wanted to yet. Alsd have been cleaning out my desk and found 2 photos they tore at my heart, one of my recently (last August) deceased white cat and one of my Dad (deceased 12 years). I stopped cleaning after that.

where was the Dad photo taken?

Colorado. A few years after he retired, he and my Mom moved to a small community called Battlement Mesa that he found doing some work on a shale oil project in the area. The entire community and town had just under 2,000 people. The area is beautiful, but desolate and a far cry from the environment that I grew up in (Houston, Texas).
