This was blowin' in the wind as I walked toward my gallery this afternoon, though I don't think it's the answer, my friend. At first I assumed another pedestrian had been hit by one of downtown Rapid's countless reckless drivers (five have been hit since I moved down here three ye...ars ago). However, I discovered it was merely a styrofoam replica and brought it into the gallery.Thursday, September 23, 2010

Sketch of the Day, August 31, 2010.
"Ponderosa Pine" The Black Hills National Forest consists mostly of ponderosa pines. Sorry, but I think they are rather ugly trees, at least until they get to be a couple of hundred years old, and they're almost always harvested before that. Go, pine beetles.Sketch of the Day, August 30, 2010.
"First Day of School" I didn't get very far with this sketch of a mom in a giant SUV waiting to pick up her kid. Hey, I'm not criticizing anyone for driving these behemoths--you should see the size of the kids...New Painting!
Finally! After days of preparing the panel, I'm ready to start the new painting. I hope my arms are long enough.Sketch of the Day, August 25, 2010.
My Dad stopped in at the gallery today. This wouldn't be particularly amazing except for the fact that he's ninety-six and he walked here from the dermatologist's office four blocks away. Go Dad!Sketch of the Day, August 19, 2010.
"My hat." I wear it with the bill forward, like an old guy. The backwards ball-cap thing was one of the world's great examples of lemming behavior. They don't really do any good when they're backwards.

"Motorcycle." It's the week of the world famous Sturgis Rally in the Black Hills. Once described by me as "500,000 nonconformists in black t-shirts." It's probably the most powerful manifestation of corporate worship in the world, but hey, underneath it all they're just folks trying ...to have a good time. I say, "Welcome bikers! Have a good time and then go back home."Sketch of the Day, August 11, 2010
"Street Preacher" I got so buried in work that I had too give up my "Sketch of the Day" for a couple of months. I'm still buried, but by golly, I'm going to draw or die. This is the street-preacher who works the downtown crowd on Thursday nights. He gets relentlessly (and deservedly) heckled by high school kids, but he seems to enjoy it.
