Workshop Opportunity

My 6th  almost-annual workshop in Boothbay Harbor, Maine will be held from September 10th - 14th.  Come paint the quiet coves, quaint side streets, lighthouses and working waterfront.  September is a great month to visit Maine; the summer tourists are gone, the weather is usually dry and warm, and the motel rates go down, making lodging more affordable.

So come see the place that has drawn me back for 39 years!  We'll have a relaxed, fun week of exploring color, values, even experimental approaches to the landscape.

Hope to see you in Maine!

I'm Back!

Happy to report I'm back home after four long weeks of  recovery and rehab following open heart surgery.  There were a couple of touch and go minutes on the operating table, but a very fine, coolheaded surgeon saved my life!  So happy to be alive and home!

I took my sketchbook with me to the rehab facility, and was able to record some quieter moments there.  I took a short walk to a courtyard where there was a tribe of box turtles, adults and babies.  Here's the memory of a quiet afternoon watching them.

P.S.  The turtle is an apt metaphor for me these days.  Slow and steady wins the race!
