Andalucia and Beyond

Off on another adventure. This time to Spain and Morocco. We'll be visiting the cities that comprise Al Andalucia (Madrid, Seville, Cordoba, Granada, along with Gibraltar, Fez, Marrakesh, and Casablanca.)  Leaving May 1 returning May 15, 2015. Not sure I'll get to post to this blog until I return but check back to see what adventures we'll have. 

Another Visit to China in My Memory

I'm taking another Imaginary Trip to a past VaCa with Laure Ferlita. I think this is the third time that I've taken this class and relived and sketched trips to the Alps, particularly Chamonix FR, a Bohemian adventure through Prague and Budapest and this trip I trying to capture some of my trip to China.  I will be leaving soon for Spain and Morocco and certainly hope that I will actually sketch on location instead of waiting until I get home and sketching from photographs that I've taken.

Happy April 1

It's finally beginning to look a little like spring around West Michigan.  Warmer weather and a tulip bulbs peeking their heads above the snow that is still on the ground.  Our temps should clime to the upper 50s today and the sun is shining.  

Bear and I are slowly getting ready for out trip to Spain and Morocco in a month. When my mind and body is still "cold" and there's a bit of snow on the ground it's hard to decide what to pack.  It will be fun to get out the spring clothes, trying them on...hoping the still fit from late year...or maybe a bit looser.  Bear has his own wardrobe so we'll hove to short that out
