Welcome to July!

Today was quieter at the park. Caverns entrance tickets had sold out over the weekend, but today seemed quieter. Even so I had some really great conversations with interesting guests today.

I was super productive art-wise today. Yesterady, an employee of the visitor center's Western National Parks Bookstore suggested and image idea to me. After some thought, I decided that I could best produce that idea as a digitally created image (instead of with wet paints). In preparation, I got a posed photo of a ranger along with an image of the caverns entrance and a stock image of an eagle. There are lots of turkey vultures soaring around here, but I haven't seen an eagle. Even so, my idea-suggestor was very specific about wanting an eagle. Using Adobe Photoshop Elements, here I what I digitally created. 



I started 5 other pieces today -- but they are not done yet. They need to dry overnight and then I will easily complete them tomorrow. So just a teaser -- tune in tomorrow to check them out.

June 24 -- I set up my "studio"

Image
 This morning, I watched the sunrise from the front porch of my casita. Then, a soaking rain shower dampened the next few hours. One of the park rangers set up a spectacular studio for the artists-in-residence this season. This morning I settled in to this studio space. This space is located in the visitor center along a corridor between the ticket-selling area and the cavern entrance/elevator. Consequently, I am quite visible here. A significant number of visitors engaged me in conversation today. One of my favorite conversations today was with a precocious young girl who might have been eight or 10 years old. She asked me, "What is an artist in residence?" It was such a simple question that I had never even thought about that before.  I got warmed up by doing three watercolor sketches today. One of the rangers caught this camel spider. If you Google it, you will learn that it's not really a spider, but related to both spiders and scorpions. And then driving home after w...

June 23 -- Arriving at Carlsbad Caverns National Park

Image
 After a day's drive west from my home in Dallas, across the Permian basin, I arrived at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.  I was welcomed by the Rangers, oriented to the park's resources and issued a volunteer uniform! I have a ranger shirt and an official namebadge too. I was escorted to my provided lodging: a 1902's era casita built by the CCC (civilian Conservation Corps). It has 3-foot thick stone walls and will be a comfortable "home-away-from-home". From my porch, I can see across to the visitors center. The natural entrance to the caverns is right behind this building.   One of the big draws at Carlsbad is the "BAT FLIGHT", where at sunset, around 400,000 mexican freetail bats fly out of the cavern mouth to go on thier nightly feed. I walked down to the amphitheater above the mouth of the cavern and, on que, at 7:30 PM, the bats began voluminously flying out. It is really spectacular. It lasted only around 15 minutes, but the volume of bats was imp...
