It was cold – 40s – but the sun was out. We left the pavilion shade for the sun beneath the oaks and were warm in no time. Gray showed up with his ukelele and a bunch of new people stopped through. Here are a few tracks from Soundcloud:

UT Night At The Trail Of Lights
Our division helped put on UT’s first year as a participant in Zilker’s Trail of Lights and our work-band, Mixed Bag got a spot on the community stage. It was a fun privilege for Ralph and I to play the event for the first time that we’d even made it to the Trail.
Maile, Anais and I walked the trail afterwards, spinning under the Christmas tree and riding the ferris wheel at the end. Perfect weather, wonderful experience, magic night. Here are two of the songs from our set on the community stage.
A Few Favorite Santa Fe Artists
Tim Althauser
I’ve been looking for nature motifs for music poster ideas recently, particularly photos of the sky through the trees. In Santa Fe I shot dozens of what I call looking up at trees. So you can imagine how excited I was when I found Tim Althauser’s paintings of looking up at trees at the William and Joseph Gallery.
Apparently he is in his 70s, has suffered a stoke and applies painstaking detail despite a limited range of movement. I love these.
Mark Horst
When I saw Mark Horst’s style, it reminded me of what I like about Mark Tansey and the fellow whose painting – Chesapeake Birdwatchers – hangs in our room. Figures in the foreground, abstract, minimal background.
From talking with the gallery owner I learned he is a divinity and fine arts grad from Yale who went the art route. Apparently, he changes up his style for each series. This one is from a trip to Injambakkam, India. It looks like he works from photographs.
Various Artists
Here are a few other artist’s work I liked, snapped a pic of around town.
