That's totally true - Parrish being another artist I fancy quite a bit. The 
neat thing about West's art is that it's all screen-printed serigraphs, not 
paintings.

Thanks for the link to Bauman's work. I like it a lot. I notice he's done 
at least a couple posters for the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, so I would 
assume that Taos or that area is right on. Kinds looks like aouthwest 
Norman Rockwell without any people (tho' it's hard to tell from just the 
website).

I agree. I've been to a number of good mexican restaurants in Texas - in 
Austin, Dallas, and San Angelo. The most interesting restaurant I've seen 
in TX though was in a small town half way to Austin from El Paso - it was a 
little German village, and the food was totally authentic German food. What 
a surprise to come across it in the middle of cow country...
