Heading East


"Thunder Mountain Colors" 9x12, pastel


The time has come to say goodbye to Arizona and head east.  East for us is a 3500-mile trip with a final destination of Campobello Island, New Brunswick.  Along the way, I'll be teaching workshops in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.  As always, though we have enjoyed our winter here in Arizona, we're looking forward to hitting the road and finally being back at our quiet island home again.

Spring is already moving into summer here in Arizona, and the roses are beautiful in our community.  But by the time we get the Campobello, it will be barely spring, and our lilacs there will be just starting.  The apple trees will be another month before they strike their floral crescendo.  May is always a slow start for the Maritimes, and we'll have some fog, some rain and some cool weather.  But it won't be long before the sun rolls back the fog and hammers the sea into a broad blue shield.

By the way, in case you aren't on my newsletter mailing list, here is a link to my latest newslettter.

I'll write again from the road.
