And all the folks who work so hard to make Art on the Avenue the blast that it is, year after year. And make it a wonderful community. As usual, I am ready to move there - maybe an apartment in nearby Crystal City?
Art on the Avenue
This fun street fair in Alexandria, VA is tomorrow! In fact we came back from South America for this so the weather better be nice! See you soon!
Back in the USA
Think we’ve still got the stars over the Andes twinkling on our eyes. The last few days of travel are catching up to me, will get back to everyone tomorrow or the next day? And wow Virginia is a beautiful place to come home to. We say that every time, I know, but wow lovely.
Travel time
Orders can be filled until July 9. After that date orders will be taken but may not be filled until late September. Have a great summer.

Watercolor and pencil, small (5x7”?). Made this several years ago.
Renovation
As an artist, I am a landscape painter and a designer. And drawer. Not a figurative artist, not decorative. My posters are usually in one of these categories and also usually both. The Humpback Rocks poster has changed four times over the years from originally a design/commercial art style to this one which is a landscape painting done as a poster.
Drawing in the Old Masters style
Part of an artist’s education. I did this quite a while ago, cannot remember when.
Bright!
Maybe because it is spring and the bright yellow daffodils are blooming, or maybe because we are just returned from Mexico, dunno, but this one happened real quick and real bright
More appreciation for other artists, illustrators, designers -
They are consistently excellent, even breathtaking
Early spring in Virginia
Celebrating Bowie
On this anniversary of his death (so gloriously explored in his last music/artwork ‘Black Star’) so many of us celebrate the omnivorous wildly creative David Bowie. He made life so much more glamorous, weird, wondrous, flaming.
