Got up this morning and had a very nice breakfast in the Hassayampa Hotel restaurant off the main lobby. Really a beautiful restaurant with linen table cloths and Victorian ambiance. Excellent menu and good service and it's comped with the room! ($7 cash tip). In this day of prefab hashbrowns and square eggs, right off an assembly line for the quasi-Continental spread that most chains put out today, this was a total treat. The hotel also had their Best of The West-True West certificate framed and in the lobby. So I was a very happy camper. Here's one of last night's sketches done from our suite:

Been working on The Endurance of The Horse ideas for an upcoming issue. May do a painting for the cover. Here's a study:
