A Boat Trip down Buffalo Bayou

The Professor saw Houston from Buffalo Bayou with the Greater East End Management District Board.
Houston looks totally different from the water from Allens Landing down to the ship channel at sunset.

Ready to start painting

The Professor's new studio is ready.  It is a work in progress, but he feels comfortable with the space.

The last wall to be hung.

An old Village carving from the Mountains of Oaxaca collected there over 30 years ago.

Mexican Folk Art and works by Dick Wray, Richard Stout and Harvey Bott and the Professor

Barry Rose Helps Hang

The Professor began to move and hang paintings into the new studio. Luckily, Barry Rose was in town from Oxford, Mississippi, and volunteered to help carry a Surburban-full of paintings up the stairs and to assist in hanging them.

Painting hung on just one wall. More to hang next weekend. The Professor and Mary Margaret had other plans for this weekend too. They went to the Metropolitan Opera Live Broadcast of Strauss's Capriccio at the Webster Cineplex and this Easter afternoon, they are off to Amadeus at the Alley Theater.

A Place of His Own

Downtown out the double doors

This weekend the Professor moved into his new studio at Art Supply. It is huge with kitchen and bathroom and plenty of painting space. He has never had such a place and he is so totally enjoying the experience and in addition the Hickory Street property has finally officially sold. The following pictures tell the story.

Now the Professor can get to work
