We have returned to Texas. We have purchased the house that Elaine's great grandparents finished building in 1908 in her home town. We will start a bed & breakfast, guest house and gallery in the historical old home, located in Crowell, Texas. It should be a bit of an adventure.

Hanging paintings Fruita Library
In the Fruita Branch of the Mesa County Library in Fruita, Colorado, I displayed eight oil paintings titled SKIES AND MYSTERY IN THE WEST. These are landscape paintings exploring relationships of earth and sky that have been painted over the last eight years or so. They are a result of travels primarily in the Big Bend of Texas.
 
The paintings include Asparagus, the Moon, and the Marfa Lights, a shaped canvas that has the elements of mystery that show up in places like Marfa, Texas. Time and space are bent and the sky sends up its own energy. This exhibit was up during the summer of 2006.
