deal with the first two....." ............. RAMS

Robert Stephens is a professional artist, painting full time since May of 1977. Winning an art scholarship at

age 14 sent him to the University California at Davis.There he was told he would never be an artist since he preferred

to paint realistically. He agreed with their dissent since he hated the abstract, subjective creations popular

during that period of the mid 60's, thus surrendering the scholarship. From that point he was determined to

become a professional artist and decided to teach himself somehow. It took him 11 more years before he

could launch his career as an easel painter and fine artist in plein-aire works professionally.

A 5 time Smithsonian (SITES) alumni in conjunction with NASA, and with work in collections, museums,

and academies worldwide, he has proved UCD's art department they may have been a little hasty.

For me there is only the traveling
on paths that have heart,
on any path that has heart.
There I travel, and the only worthwhile challenge
is to traverse its full length.
And there I travel, searching, searching, breathlessly........
— Don Juan

....what are these? roll over them....

I made it to Las Cruces, NM, , finally, on Tuesday, 3-8-2009, @12:30PM, after 5000 miles, 7 weeks of utter disaster and 5 years of planning, and rolled into de Zona Azteca-----where I want to be.

And against every form of tragedy, betrayal, breakdown, resistance, wildness, heart break and through it all, it was law enforcement, and a few others across the fruited plain of my country that assisted, cared for and helped me get here, my new home.......To Law Enforcement et al, Capt. John Solberg, and FCW............

..........Thank You All From My Heart!!!

And, in Las Cruces, NM I met "The Commander", Earl Trummel, and Officer Maria Lopez, LCPD, and Ken Borer, a Jeep man....kindred spirits upon the voyage, new friends on the Aztec Frontier.......

* "Mariposa": Spanish for 'butterfly'. The Latin romantic euphemism for a woman who is lovely but flighty, all over the places of life and heart and never remains with the dandelion that loves her....... the woman tends to be quite bizarre in behavior and highly inconsistent in the ides of love......
