Here and There on The Web:



Summer exhibition ended, work at The Raven is still up.
My donation to Writers in the Schools (WITS) benefit gala yesterday, I guess I missed it but I hope my painting (seen in the background on the left) sold for this worthy cause. I just found these pictures on Facebook.

Lima Peru; Watercolors 2015

Lima Peru; 
Watercolors 2015

As I have done my entire life, my trip to Peru with Rudy this August 2015 included recording impressions and ideas and memories through ink sketches on receipts, tickets, and brochures of any kind and later coloring them with watercolor, ink, and just about anything I get my hands on.
This is a group of 7 varying in theme from Peruvian history of culture and art as well as a most contemporary nightlife experience.
All were finished in August 2015 and are treated with a deacidification formula to protect the paper. I hope to frame and show the entire group together sometime in the future.
