recent blogs and interviews

Just wanted to mention two  blogs that should be of interest to painters in watercolor everywhere - well worth bookmarking:


Konstantin Sterkhov : Konstantin was kind enough to interview me recently for his fascinating blog on practitioners of watercolor. And although I'm very happy to be featured, the vast range of artists he features is extremely impressive.


http://sterkhovart.blogspot.com/


Fernando Pena:  This blog is really indispensable reading for anyone at all interested in watercolor arts.  My friend and colleague Fernando applies his considerable creative energies to featuring an extremely wide range of artists - past and present - artists' materials, and techniques.

my way home



































"my way home"

______________________________________________________

there are times when we find ourselves searching for our place in the world - for a place we can call "home". this can be a physical location; or sometimes, just a state of heart or of mind. 

and as is often the case, the real story is told not so much in where we happen to wind up - but in how we struggled to get there.

i wish you all a safe and pleasant journey.

it would be impossible to choose a favorite spot in italy,
but this piazza - one of the great outdoor living rooms 
in all of europe - is very near the top of the list.
