I love to travel.

And to paint.

And I'm happiest when doing both at the same time.

In a new destination,  I want to see at least one place very well.

 

I love to linger in a shady spot with a beautiful view.

With beverage service and a bathroom.

My favorite vacation photos are of travel drawings.
Framed by the scene I'd become acquainted with.

It's a joy to paint in beautiful places - en plein air - with the sun's warmth and shadow, the wind's sound and smell,  the added texture of an occasional insect  or grain of sand.

Special thanks to:

 

 Casa de los Artistas: Workshops I've participated in at "the Casa" over the years have been invaluable to my development as a painter.

John MacDonald: An exquisite painter, his workshops and videos have shaped the way I translate the world into tone, color and shape. 

Richard Caemmerer and the Grünewald Guild:  Richard was my mentor. He opened my imagination to the world of art. He and his wife Liz founded the Guild as a place to explore the relationships between art + community + faith.

Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff:  His book  The Greek House: the story of a painter's love affair with the island of Sifnos was an inspiration when I was beginning my journey as a painter.
