It is  just about mid semester and school progresses as ever.
The Professor went to the first of two International Art Fairs in Houston. It was all nice, clean and proper - saleable. What did he expect? It is a commercial world. Art buyers want acceptable products that do not trouble  them.  He enjoyed the spectacle of the dealers booths filled with short skirted, attractive young women selling in many cases Knock-offs of Knock-offs particularly hard edged stripped pictures or horse statues of the found-material style.  
He did see his friend Forest Moses’ paintings; these he always enjoys, rough and tumble and still sellable…how  is that possible? He admits he is  like a child with his nose pressed against the candy store  window. His work is so unlike what he saw. 
He has a show at The Museum of Southeast Texas in Beaumont,Texas next June and a three person show in Austin at St. Steven's school.  It is a start.
In Houston it  has been raining for over three hours for the first time since we cannot remember.
The Professor is painting in the studio. Here are some new works.
