Santa Barbara Travel Journal – Part 3
Before I left for California, my friend asked what I wanted to see and do while I was visiting. I told her I just wanted to hang out, talk, relax, and paint. And that’s what we did! We sketched and chatted and laughed and inspired each other. We watched sunrises and sunsets and drank wine […]
Santa Barbara Travel Journal – Part 2
I love getting together with other artists to paint on location. It gets the creative juices flowing and pushes me to look at a scene from a different viewpoint or try a new technique.

Santa Barbara Travel Journal – Part 1

Sketchbook Journeys: Spain
Spain was wonderful! I loved every moment and came home with a journal filled with memories. Travel changes me. Living in a different country, eating the food, walking the streets, meeting the people, learning about the history of that place – it alters my perception of the world and makes me realize how rich and […]
