About 40 years ago we brought our family to the historic movie set of Old Tucson, Arizona, John Wayne was still making cowboy movies and we recognized many of the buildings and streets in films. It was exciting. Yesterday we revisited this place of many memories after a drive through the magnificent Saguaro National Park. Everything seemed the same except it didn't look like the sets are used any more and it is more of a museum today. We really enjoyed the drive over Gates Pass, the … [Read More...]

The temperatures drop in the evening in the 3500' elevation of Oro Valley, North East of Tucson.

The tallest peaks are over 10,000' elevation and have traces of snow, in the valley below are three fabulous championship golf courses and several beautiful subdivisions where deer roam freely. A stunning oasis in the high desert. I had my very first golf … [Read More...]

Wikipedia defines pointillism as; "a style of painting in which small distinct points of primary colors create the impression of a wide selection of secondary and intermediate colors." It goes on to say that the mind and the eye mix the color spots into a full range of tones and that it is closely related to Divisionism. Divisionism was practiced by Georges Seurat during the Neo-Impressionism period. He broke his color into basic elements and painted very small and regular dots. His dots are carefully placed as to not touch each other, so the white under painted canvas shows around all of the dots. I call my painting technique pointillism, but technically it is incorrect according to Wikipedia. The difference between my technique and true pointillism is that I use … [Read More...]
