This weekend I was lucky enough to visit Brevard, NC (my first trip here) and stay on an amazing piece of land owned by a friend of a friend. I had every intention of bringing my plein air set up and getting out there to record the memory. But instead I enjoyed the mornings drinking some damn good coffee and staring at the French Broad, enjoying an amazing collection of art and books, listening to musicians in practice mode and driving through cornfields laughing so hard I almost wet my pants. Overall...a very excellent weekend.

Had a productive week in the studio...starting lots of new work! #wip

This pic was was taken a while ago, but it sure does say it all. Grateful to spend my life with this man and fellow artist who surprises me not only on the big days, but every day.

Saw this box truck parked across from my daughters’ school for months. Couldn’t stop looking at it going nowhere fast and the way the light shifted on the scene. I finally got out and painted the damn thing! He’s a handsome devil...
