Catching up, then goin again.

We've been all over the country this year, teaching workshops and exploring for inspiration, and only a couple of weeks at home is barely enough time to catch up, but it will do. In three weeks we depart for France for a watercolor sketchbook tour of some of my favorite places there.

Mont St Michel is one of my top 10, but I haven't been there in almost a decade. I assume it is pretty much the same; still magical and awesome to paint. This trip we'll have three days to soak it in, the a day painting in Monet's Gardens in Giverny, a day in Versailles and five days wandering Paris. Hopefully I'll find enough wifi to update the blog as we go.

I have most of this week to reacquaint myself with my dogs, maybe squeeze a painting out of my studio, then I'm off to Cape Girardeau for a weekend workshop. Afterwards I'll start packing for France!
