The Art
 With all the craziness that comes with my beautiful, young bride’s school starting back up (she’s the art teacher) and me leaving for a week of training in Houston, there hasn’t been much activity on the Artistic Biker front, nor on the Oasis Gallery & Studios front.  We did manage to get a little arting in, but mostly it was about staying sane and not killing anyone.  While I was in Houston, I stopped in to the Ragin Cajun Oyster Bar and Grill and had TWO DOZEN OYSTERS!!! I love oysters and these were the awesomenest.  Those with six hushpuppies, dirty rice, two Blue Moon pints, a slice of bourbon pecan pie and a cup of spiced rum coffee and I thought they were going to have to roll me back to the hotel!
The Classroom
While we’re on the subject of sketching and painting in public, this week on The Classroom, I believe I’ll demonstrate and talk about the pros and cons of inktense over watercolor pencils.  That’ll be Tuesday night 7p central time at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/oasisgalleryok and the password is “arting”.
Daddy/Daughter Breakfast
Girl2 has really taken to drawing these doodle tangles that look like flowers, dragons, cats, owls.. Â Sometimes she colors them and sometimes she just scribbles something. Â I encourage her to use her imagination during this time and she’s doing GREAT. Â I have been getting a touch bored with drawing spoons and coffee mugs, so for the second week in a row I worked on the plastic flower. Â My coffee mug is almost never empty at this cafe because the waitresses are all eager to see what we are doing each week.
The Video
Several weeks ago, I made a new art journal on The Artistic Biker Live. Â Believe it or not, I finally got around to producing the You Tube video. Â You can watch that here:Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnOPG2k9_2A
 Everything should get back to normal this week with the classroom, the show, and the progress on the studio.  There’s a lot still to do and a lot still in store so be sure and tune in each week for the craziness.
