Getting Sick In The Summer
I hate getting sick, like most people. But in the summer, it really does stink. In fact, I've been sick this past weekend and because my head is sloshing around about 3 gallons of nose juice, I just couldn't get it together enough to write some witty post about art. So, this is it. Enjoy...

This painting is entitled, Paradise Near Purgatoire . Pun intended. It's a 12"x16" acrylic painting on a gallery wrapped canvas. Yes, this is a real place. I have the photos to prove it. I came upon this place in the spring of 1999, in southeastern Colorado. It was spring break, and we were not in any financial position to take a no-holds-barred trip to a beach or Mexico, or Florida, so I decided to go on a few day trips. One such place was to a remote place called to Picketwire Canyonlands. The Purgatoire River runs through Picketwire Canyon, which is located in the Comanche National Grasslands. Along the Purgatoire River there are several sets of dinosaur tracks. That was the main attraction. ...
