GULF COAST SPLASH 30" x 30" Oil on Canvas This painting is the result of my sitting on a sea wall at a friend's house located on the intercoastal canal in Port Aransas, Texas. Staring at the splashes against the rocks is hypnotizing. Like snow flakes, no two splashes are alike. As a result of a trip to the west coast many years ago and watching the waves break on the beach, I painted a wave. This painting reminded me of that similar experience. Toni, do you remember buying that wave for your son's wedding gift? The colors on our Texas Gulf Coast can't compare with the incredible blue of the Pacific Ocean, but I borrowed a little of that color for my Texas splash. Artist'd Privilege! MUSEUM SHOW: At the GETTY CENTER in Los Angeles until February 28 is "Rembrandt and His Pupils: Telling the Difference". If you can't make the trip, do as I did.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW about Armadillo World Headquarters?

ARMADILLO WORLD HEADAQUARTERS In my day Austin was ethnically divided by East Avenue. In 1960, Interstate 35 replaced this street. Today singles, couples, families, artists and musicians flock to live and operate in the convenient downtown neighborhoods east of US Interstate 35 displacing many of the older and earlier residents. Another coveted place to locate today is south of the river. Hip restaurants, bars, upscale hotels and residences are displacing the cowboy and red neck residents, the quirky retail stores and the souvenir shops that were there previously. In 1960 Austin was awash with hippies. The Armadillo World Headquarters (1970-1981) was Austin's legendary concert hall located on Barton Springs Road across the street from where the Long Center is located today. Eddie Wilson with Jesse Sublet(*) transformed an abandoned National Guard Armory into a music venue that was instrumental (pun intended) for Austin becoming the "The Music Capital of the World".

WHAT DO YOU KNOW

WHAT DO YOU KNOW about Borger, Texas ? The town of Borger was a significant oil boomtown in the twentieth century but greed got it off to a very wrong start. It is located in the panhandle of Texas which became a leading area for the production of oil. In 1920, Amarillo was the largest panhandle town with a population of 15,494. Borger had more four footed inhabitants than two footed, but this did not deter two brothers from Missouri buying 2140 acres of land for $12,000. They posted sensational advertisements for finding black gold in the new town on the plains suddenly making it the 6th largest town in Texas. Forty five thousand men and women had arrived._____________________ Asa Phillip Borger, one of the brothers had his vision for the Borger Townsite Company. “Ace” brought a lawyer to be his trouble shooter. “Two Gun” Dick Herwig, a convicted murderer, bought his way out of prison to become Borger’s Marshall. Illegal distilleries supplied rot gut whiskey for Ace’s saloons, open ...
