When to start your art career


Don't wait. The time will never be just right."
- Napoleon Hill, pioneering US self-help author

Things to think about.


 "I was very embarrassed when my canvases began to fetch high prices. I saw myself 


condemned to a future of nothing but masterpieces." (Henri Matisse)

March News Letter


 I have been airboating around Florida this month, thye even let me drive. It was a ball even though we got caught in a tropical down pour before we returned to the docks. It was a good thing I had extra dry cloths in the car.

Last week I painted with the art Don Getz who is traveling through the US painting and journaling small towns on his trip.
He has taught watercolor since 1967,and always cherished the idea of doing a country-wide tour. Seeing America's back roads and teaching as he toured. He lost his wife, Judie, last August , and not getting any younger; altho at 78, he is very able and up to the task.

I love to travel but taking oil paints on a plane is now almost inposble, so if I am not  driving I had to find another solution. I think watercolor Journaling may be the solution for me.

 Don At work.


Here are a few of my first attempts. No pencils alowed so I really had to think before I started.
