I have been painting on and off for the past few years. It was something I did for myself and never gave it much serious thought. Some time back I got a call from James at Us Versus Themasking me to hang something in the Oil & Water show. (Biltwell Bill put my name in the hat.) I have never been part of a group show and I have to admit I was very excited to be asked. By all reports the show was a complete success. If you find yourself in San Diego with some time, the show is hanging for the next thirty days. There are so many great artists in the show it would be a shame to miss it. Big thanks to James and Bill for letting me be a part of it. ~Walter
On Saturday March 9th (6pm to10pm) US Vs. THEMis presenting the Second OIL & WATER ART SHOW. It is a enormous group show filled with fifty eight brilliant artists and one complete hack. The BILTWELL contingent is doing a ride to the show if you want to get in some miles before a night of High Culture. The show will be hanging for a month if you can't make it Saturday, but you will probably regret it Monday when someone asks you " hey man, did ya do anything cool this weekend?" and the only thing you have to say is "No." Get off yer ass, ride your bike and support the arts!
