My readers stateside celebrate Thanksgiving
this week. For readers overseas who are
unfamiliar with the tradition, the holiday has its roots in a 1621 celebration
by colonists at Plymouth, Massachusetts who wished to give thanks to Providence
while enjoying a bountiful harvest...

| Michael Flood: Three Trees at Sunset |
 |
| Steve Bailey: Desert Outlook |
We Americans tend to rush ourselves at this
unofficial beginning of the winter's season holidays celebrating the gradual
return of the sun, the birth of prophets, and miracles in the face of
oppression...
 |
| Ashley Mann: The Old Window |
 |
| Chandra Henne: Casa Grande From Behind |
 |
| Linda Cox: Midnight In The Garden |
This week, I hope to share a few minutes of
your time with a visit to a group of painters and photographers...
 |
| Jason Tricktop Matthews: Trooper 2 |
 |
| Jeniffer Stapher-Thomas: The Moon, The Mountains, Cacti, A Cat |
Each belongs to the West Texas group of Fine

| Karen Slagle: The Heavens Declare The Glory Of God |
 |
| Ken Brown Pioneer: Oil Boom or Bust |
These images have been selected from the West
Texas group itself and portfolios of the artists. My sole regret in offering them to you for
your perusal is that they just hint at the variety of work created by each
group member...
