BEING HER #1 FAN
She takes it humbly with a kind of chuckle, but I'm a proud fan and bragging about it. Lana took first place in the Cambria Allied Arts Association juried show. It's a big deal because Cambria is an art colony and the competition is tough. The Plein Air oil was done near one of our favorite hiking trails.

I am hard pressed to understand how General Allen could
produce 20 to 30 thousand e-mails and still be getting the job done.
Also miffed why guys as sharp as he and General Petraeus would engage in romantic conversations using DOD and CIA computers. Duh!!!
FROM THE ATTIC
Found this classic in an old photo file. This is from the way back machine. The lad in the T-shirt is Cris "Moto Groove" Conner, the Daliesque artist and social conveyer back in the day. The bearded gent is Bruce Taylor aka The Catalyst of Oddball Observations Blogger fame. The kid in the back is this blogger. This was taken in the old WIBC/WNAP Newsroom on what I think was Taylor's last day before decamping to Arizona. BTW-notice the typewriters, old audio board and the shirt and tie combinations? What were we thinking?

The California Skies
See you down the trail.
Congratulations to Lana for her award. I wish I could see the painting better, but I enjoy plein air oils because of their freshness and immediacy, in addition to the physical challenges of painting outdoors.
ReplyDeleteWon First Place! SHE DID! We have a winner. YOU have a winner (for several years). It is great to see that you are able to tout her praise to all of us. Thanx. Next time a CloseUP is due, as Mr. Hays points out. We remain in plain ole Indiana, without much praise or need. Oh, there are art colonies, just not close uP. -w-
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Lana, she is finally painting for herself!
ReplyDeleteTaylor looks like he was just released from Devil's Island.
What were we thinking? In deed!
Wow! Congratulations to your artist companion. I love her plein air work. I also love her so watch out!
ReplyDeleteAs for that old WIBC/WNAP photo, all I can say is what a bunch of renegades. I think I agree with Jager.
What were you thinking? you weren't :o)
