One Month into 2019 - new adventures in travel and art
Looking forward to do more art and sketching this year.
I am working with architectural line drawings along with watercolor views of the same buildings. This one is of the Chrysler Building in New York City.
The cold weather in the Midwest has been harsh, but it is above 0 today.
I also hope to keep this blog more active with posts.

Camino Frances
A memorable experience is the Camino Frances. With the new year, I will post some reflections on this. This year, after walking the Camino Frances across Spain, has been cleaning out the basement of papers and books of past academic activities of 40 years and moving into new experiences of doing more art, photography, Spanish lessons, and Piano lessons.

Back to Wisconsin from Mexico
2018. January. Just returned from an amazing trip to rural Mexico in to the mountains and coffee farms. Beautiful landscape and good people to know all around.
Will be trying to add more here again. Can't believe that a year has passed since last post. So much has changed. I have left teaching at the University and now will be doing my art.

SketchCrawls - good to do!
SketchCrawls are good to do! Especially when you share your work with sketchers across the world.
I have just completed a short sprint with the 51st WorldWide Sketch crawl this week. Wanted to sketch more, but I did not have time, so I fit in what I could. A nice day to be out on a bike downtown in the square.

A past activity.
It was neat to see that I had my sketchbook on display in
2013 at the school that my son, Brian, graduated from - - Winter Park, FL Full Sail University This
being among other exhibits, including Los Angeles (where my two sons lived,
until Nathan moved to Cleveland in 2017) and London in October and Melbourne,
Australia in November. After the world tour, the sketchbooks will all
reside in Brooklyn, New York at the Brooklyn Art Library.
