These photos are from camping in Northern California near the coast. This area is so beautiful and on a sunny warm day it’s like paradise. Nature is a source of inspiration for me and many others.

Achieving a work life balance is important and somehow this is my solution. Equipment assembled so…

Can you tell what’s before and what’s after in the studio photos? I’ve spent about 3 hours setting up to paint. The weather is finally cooperating and I can finally work in my outdoor studio. Today included brushing away the cobwebs and ripping out the weeds that have grown over the winter and spring. If…

Spring cleaning the outdoor/mobile studio

My full outdoor and mobile studio setup is changing and evolving! A studio is both a place, a collection of materials, and a creative practice all rolled into one. The best way to design is by doing. Today a new low table design, that fits on top of the red wagon, emerged in the process.…

What art supplies should I take on my trip to Italy?

I’ve been asking myself what art supplies to take on my trip to Italy. I’m going for about a week and my luggage is minimal. I remember that, in the past, I’ve enjoyed sketching people and buildings while traveling. People who are sleeping are best because they stay in one place long enough to draw.…

This mortar and pestle incense kit is from the Etsy shop, Enchanted Moon Store. The store came to my attention because it manages the Facebook group, Tarot Study Group, with over 23,000 members.

The Avatar discovers his most powerful state and hangs suspended in a sphere of spinning wheels, one for each element: Fire, water, air, and earth. He defeats the fire lord and brings peace to the world. The…
