SUMMARY 2019


HINDSIGHT ON THE EVE OF 2020


2019 marks three years since I firmly settled back in Albuquerque, and almost 10 years since I started this blog (March 10, 2010).  It's time to look back, first at 2019, and then at what I've done in the past decade.  Click on the photos or text below, for more robust information.

BEST DRAWINGS OF 2019










BEST SHORT POSE Drawings





BEST GESTURE Drawings









Note: There are certainly other drawings that should have made the best lists, and might have had I choosen them on a different day, in a different mood.


 PREVIOUS DRAWINGS

I wonder if my drawing skilss have improved over the past decade.  Below are links to last year's best drawings (2018), the book I self-published of the best drawings of the previous six years (2011-2017), and the book I self published of earlier drawings (2008).









MAJOR EXHIBITIONS
of the last decade

I have had a big hand in organizing several exhibiting print portfolios and three sculpture exhibitions since 2013.


2018- Present



2015 - Present



2017 - 2019



2014 - 2017












CONCLUSION

I have been really busy drawing, making catalogs, and organizing exhibitions in the last decade, right through the last three years since I set roots again in Albuquerque.   I could barely keep up with 2019, but it was a very rewarding year.

EXHIBITION
THAT I ORGANIZED
(but was not in)

I organized a relief print exhibition in Albuquerque, at Remarque Print Workshop in February -- called "New Mexico: Living Relief" -- showcasing prints from all across the state of New Mexico, and some from neighboring El Paso.  However none of my prints were in the show.

I side busted on Bob Richardson's opening at Evoke Gallery in Santa Fe, during his opening for the  "Interlopers: Works on Paper" exhibition.  I drew a picture of Bob Richardson, and put it on the invitational wall.  Evoke is one of my favorite galleries in Santa Fe.

I donated prints to 2 shows raising funds for the victims of the tragic El Paso shooting at WalMart on August 3rd, 2019. One show was at the Roderick Artspace downtown, and the other at Galeria Cinco Puntos.
