I'm BACK!

Hey friends,
Thanks for standing by while I was on my first vacation in over two years. It was a glorious time.
I have so much material for future paintings etc... I can't hardly wait to get at it but first I have to rest up from the trip. ahahahha!
I spent a couple of weeks in my favorite location.......Taos, New Mexico. Seeing old artist friends and hanging out was just what I needed. It recharges a persons batteries, at least for me.
Stay tuned for future sketches and paintings...God bless....LOL

Welcome

Welcome to Barbara and Arti as new followers. I appreciate you signing aboard and look forward to any comments etc.. in the future.
Just a note to all that I will be gone for 2 weeks traveling and doing art. My plans are Wyoming, Colorado and a good stay at Taos and Santa Fe. Areas that are near and dear to me. SO there will not be any postings for a few days.
You all have fun while I'm gone and I'll post when I get back.
Regards
Ricky

I love these guys and when I lived in New Orleans I could go out and see them all the time. Roosting in trees with mossy stuff hanging or in the wet mud areas. They are a super sight. They hunt like nothing I've ever seen. Beautiful white with big red beaks and legs.....kinda like me..hahaha!
