Graham's Grille - Green Chile Cheeseburger

How could I forget to post some of my best meals from spring break?  Well, I forgot......sorry.  Better late than never.  I had one of the best green chile cheeseburgers I've ever had at Graham's Grille in Taos.  It was absolutely delicious!  The fried onions, thick bacon, and green chiles were outstanding.  It was paired up perfectly with a Santa Fe Nut Brown.  The very next day on our way home we stopped at Coyote Bluff Cafe in Amarillo.  It's the same place Adam from Man vs. Food stopped when he was in town.  This place is a total dive.  The line was out the door....because there are only about 15 tables in this little place.  I went with the green chile cheeseburger again.  Oh momma!  It was awesome!  I think I declared on the spot that it was the best hamburger I have ever had.  I will still stand by that statement.  If you are in Amarillo, Texas make sure you stop here!  PS. They only take cash so bring some foldin' money.

Laura Moore's Gallery 

Yesterday I was lucky enough to get a spot at the annual McKinney Artwalk.  It's basically a day dedicated to art around the historic square.  I set up my little booth around 9 AM with all my paintings and Holga prints on display.  We had an awesome turnout!  There was a steady crowd until we closed up at 6 PM.  I met a lot of great people and artists at the show.  I also sold 6 paintings and 8 photographs which was the icing on the cake to a great day.  After Artwalk, Laura Moore had an opening by Alison Jardine. Wow!  Her paintings were really great!  So overall, we had a great day.  I think I'm now hooked on shows and need to find some new display opportunities soon.  Below are the paintings (with the exception of one) that didn't come home with me....kind of sad in a way, but I'm glad that someone else can enjoy them now.

This Saturday will be my first opportunity to have a booth at a local art show.  I'm very excited.  I'm getting an outdoor space along the sidewalk on the historic downtown McKinney square.  The event is called Artwalk.  It is hosted by gallery owner Laura Moore.  Her gallery website has more info on the show.  These last few weeks I have been working hard getting things ready for my "booth".......... I mean, tables.  I'll have almost all of my available paintings on site along with tons of Holga prints and other goodies.  I can't wait to get out there and visit with people and hang out with some cool local artists.  If you are in the DFW area on Saturday you should stop by and say hi.  I'll be there from 10-6.
