Incredible Istanbul!
More than 30 years ago I was introduced to the Hagia Sophia through my first art appreciation class. (Thank you Paul Grootkerk). Only a dream then, I knew I’d visit eventually. This week that dream was realized. Hired to teach a watercolor masterclass for the Istanbul Watercolor Society, Marla and I made the trek to…

Studio Time!
Studio time has been hard to find over the past few years. With workshops and adventures keeping us in perpetual motion, a layer of dust had settled in my painting cave at the Avalanche Ranch. The spring cleaning took place as soon as we returned from France, just as the last leaves were falling and…
Aix en Provence
France is one of my favorite painting spots. Art seems to flourish here still, and the appreciation for it is stronger nowhere else. I love to bring painting groups here because of the enthusiasm a trip like this generates. For our first day, we met the sunrise at Place de Rotonde, and had our first…
Here we go again!
Here we go again! By now I have realized I blog more traveling, and run silent at home. Travel involves layovers, boredom, aka blog time. My studio knows nothing of boredom. We had a big summer at the Avalanche Ranch. Painting, bird watching, publishing a new book, planning new adventures and enjoying familiar faces. We…

Summer fun and inspiration
It is so nice to be home for the summer! This is a rare occurrence for us, as we seem to be in perpetual motion. This summer we are happy to have a museum exhibition and workshop at home in Columbia, Missouri. The exhibition, “the Adventurous Spirit”, features my recent travel paintings, work from New…
Ketchup Blogging and other news
Ketchup Blogging.(hereby coining that term), is what I have to do when so much time passes between blog posts and I have to cram a whole lot of stuff in one post to catch up. It’s not the most appealing way to serve up info. I prefer to deliver tidbits of news in bite sized…
Full Circle at the Meridian Museum of Art
Blogging from home seems a lot harder to do somehow. When we’re on the go I blog in queue at the airport, or train station. At home I am focused on studio time, rarely leaving the Avalanche Ranch for more than groceries. And yet somehow I can hardly find the time to write a bit.…
