The Land Grabber’s House ( When is a painting finished)

This photo was taken through instagram with an earlybird filter. I have just always love that filter, to me it looks like an old 70’s polaroid photo. The story behind the land grabber’s house, the man who owned this house fenced in an additional 4 acres which belonged to the state of New Mexico and put a new mobile home on it. He was found out and lost everything. Nice try. When working on the panel below the photo it was to be an abstract. From my poor dwindling memory came land grabber’s house. Some thing just want to be. When do you know that a painting is finished? Best stop before.

Farming in New Mexico (Melrose) Grain Elevator

Farming isn’t easy, weather, pest,cost of equipment, and time.

Below is Randy Lesly, he is the manager at Melrose Grain & Elevator (Hardware & Farm Store). This is in Melrose, New Mexico. He is a very nice man who knows the history of the area. His first day at the elevator was 9/11. Thank You to Randy for the time you spent with me in April.

Tim Ferriss and Seth Godin

Today I woke up thinking why am I so shattered minded, with no real focus, this has been going on for too long now…. STOP MONKEY MIND

Finding “The Tim Ferris Show” Feb. 10  podcast with guest Seth Godin was just perfect.  Seth is a marketing giant, the content will help just about everyone I know and love.

If anyone knows what this is let me know. Instagram photo which I took a couple of years ago….
