Blue Sky, Savanna River, Wilmington Island

This painting was initially a sketch I did while canoeing around Wilmington Island. The coloring was done later once I got home.

Pine Trees from My Porch

I just moved back to the USA to begin teaching. The Coronavirus is taking its toll and we are all in self quarantine. For me, it’s been about a month of sitting inside and teaching class online. I took a

St. Thomas Church, Leipzig Germany

Today was windy, but not too cold. Either way, the St. Thomas Church was open and mainly empty. Bach practiced the organ here and the church does frequent recitals. I recommend visiting if you are ever in Leipzig.

A Day in Antwerp

Being so jetlagged yesterday I didn’t see the second football match between Uruguay and Portugal. I made it about 6 minutes into the match and was out cold. Good news was I was awake really early and decided to catch

Brussels, painting in the park

I arrived in Brussels after a long 12 hour red-eye flight full and kept awake by hour after hour of tubulance. The plane bounced around enough that my tea kept trying to slide of the dinner tray. It was all

Sunburnt and exhausted; as it should be

Last day in Budapest. I’m wiped out. It’s been 37-39C since I’ve been here. At lunch I get on the train to Vienna and tomorrow I’m flying home. It’s been a great trip, but I need to rest and get
