Salina Elevators

Salina Elevators

Next Monday I will be driving past this spot on my way into town.  I'll be there for two weeks tending to my mom and spending a quiet Christmas with her.  Won't be at the studio, but will be doing some charcoals at her house.  Not much 'plein air' work in Kansas during winter solstice but I'm anxious to get back to charcoal for awhile.

I did this in '08 just on the cusp of getting back into my art after a long, long haitus into architecture.  I prefer art.  It used to not pay very well, and still doesn't for that matter.  But, in this economy now, neither does architecture.  And besides, architecture is really only 2% art, if that - its mostly about attorneys and contractors - and everything you design is driven by what your defense will be at some future deposition.  I prefer art.  

It's always an adventure...
