Wisconsin April Showers thundery with Snow.

 April 2022

How time does fly? What an expression.  It has been almost a whole year since my last post.  Need to keep up a little more.

A busy year indeed.

O Jays Song HOW TIME FLIES.

“Lots of changes.  Watching the World go by. Before you know it everything changes.  Year after year, it goes so fast.  Where are we going? What are we after?  Time Flies!”

 Spring has arrived once again, sashaying back and forth with Wisconsin snow, then rain.

Taking a walk by Schmeeckle Reserve today.
 

And always lots to do.

Looking forward to participating again in the 75th World Wide SketchCrawl - Apr 16 2022

Submitted a couple of art work pieces to the Center for Visual Arts (Wausau, WI) Call for Art.  “Pulp: Wood, Paper, and Print Exhibit: May 6 - July 2, 2022.”  Next week, I will find out if either were accepted for the show.

Paper Collage of News of Ukraine.  So sad. So very sad and disturbing.

 

Also have three photographs in an exhibit at the Alexander House in Port Edwards, WI this Month. One is from January visit to Albuquerque, NM. The Minnesota snow one is from the travel there, and the third is from Washington Island Beach in Door County, WI.    http://alexanderhouseonline.org/event/photography/

 

 

Glad to have some work in the New York Studio School Alumni shows of the last couple of years (2020 and 2021) and listed on ARTSY website.  My last piece was also included on the school’s alumni page https://www.nyssalumni.org/landscape  Working on another to submit for the next call for art for the NYSS Alumni show. 

Had a wonderful visit with my son, Nathan, in Cleveland in March.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Writing a blog is not the easiest, since there is so much more in life going on. Looking back, I see from my first post in this Blog, I mention others that I worked on.

Wanting to travel again, fond memories come to mind of the semester in London:  former student of mine from London Semester Abroad (he wrote a POST about traveling with me there in 2013).  Memories of good times . . .   Looking forward to traveling again.  Sam Yates, my UW-O painting professor inspired my first trip to study abroad in France in 1975. Wow.

and From the first Post of this Blog: Saturday, September 5, 2015    New Start to an Old Blog  LINK

"Welcome to my redo and new start to an older blog.   I was not able to get into a Blog that I started a few years ago, so this is an update.  I would like to share thoughts on Design and Sketching, so here is another start."

This is a link to the older blog, Design Sketching.  http://designsketching.blogspot.com/
Since this one is related, I used the same name and added 2. 

The New York City Brooklyn Art Library has one of my travel sketchbooks from Italy, with a digital link online:  LINK
