It’s time again to head up north for some much-needed family time and art inspiration.  As mentioned before, I am blessed to have the ability to travel freely, and as such, frequently travel up to the Pacific Northwest to spend time with my family. It is truly gorgeous up here – lush, green, surrounded by water and the epitome of tranquility.  Last Friday, I headed up to begin a month-long sojourn in this beautiful area.  I am looking forward to what new creative ideas are sparked by my new surroundings.  I will be taking pictures of my adventures as I go, collecting memories and inspiration for future works.  Both my sketchbook and paintbrushes were among the first things I packed and I’m hopeful for some drier weather in which to be outside!  Stay tuned!!
