   Weston wanted to come out to my studio this afternoon and draw something. So we did, playing ping pong in my sketchbook. I'd paint an outline and he'd add his two cents, then I'd push that into something different and then he added paint, and back and worth we went until we ended up here.

   I asked Weston who Tanturos is and he said he's a Greek God.

   And when it comes to a collage smokescreen, nobody does it better than Hannelore Baron.

   Got some cascading collage studies on the boards for future consideration. I'm on a mission.

   Yes, that's Sallie Chisum in the rocking chair and that's a Gary Ernest Smith cowboy in red. I'll fix the latter and keep the former (it's a photograph of mine of Sallie). I'm looking for color contrast and movement. Getting there.
