Going Big In Las Vegas!

It has been far too long since I updated my blog, mostly because I don't think many folks read it, nor care what I have to say.  I wonder if I really need to contribute to the thousands of other bloggers that post stuff for the sheer joy of sharing the minutae of their lives.  Okay, so here goes!

Las Vegas!  I am excited beyond words that I am showing my work in Sin City!  This is not only the largest town outside of Washington D. C. where I've shown, but it will also be the best exposure my work has ever had!  Who would have thought that atomic testing and communist paranoia could be so popular.  I have two paintings and a photo of third one that will be on display for the entire year of 2011 at the Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas.  They are bringing me out for the opening gala in late January - how cool is that.  The exhibit, entitled "Building Atomic Las Vegas" is a celebration of the anniversary of the museum and the Nevada Test Site.  My painting will be on the catalog cover, the DVD cover and other promotional materials.  They will also be selling prints in the museum store.  Such a huge opportunity for me and my work.  I hope something comes of it.  We are tapped out after moving to Nebraska, so maybe we will get a little scratch to climb out of the hole.

Other than debt, Nebraska has been pretty nice.  The job is nice, the people are nice.  Plus, we have a new little Waterfield on the way, so all is well.  I have two more paintings on the easel now, so I better get to work!

Peace out,
DW

Nebraska, Here we come!

Well, I did it. I decided that I've had enough of Magnolia and the South and am piulling up my tent pegs and taking the family up north. WAYYYY NORTH. I have been hired as the new department chair for the University of Nebraska at Kearney, and I am excited. It's win/ win for me all the way around. More money, smaller teaching load, bigger school, bigger department, students that care and new chances to make a difference. When all is said and done, I could stay here and be a slacker, or I could move north, shuck corn and do something productive. I choose to shuck corn! The family is excited. Now, all we have to do is sell our house...
