Where is the art lately? Well, I've done a bit, but pretty limited. I had a lovely two days in Carmel Valley with four other artists, complements of friendships made in Santa Clara Valley Watercolor Society. We hiked in Point Lobos Reserve and sketched. You can see that it was a very cool day on the coast.

We also took a hike up the coastal mountain range the next morning in Garland Regional Park. This day was picture perfect with sunshine and warm temperatures.

We painted at Lover's Point, but my piece was truly awful, though it prompted many compliments from children who gathered to watch.
The rest of the time, I've just tried to keep sane and do our daily activities while a major remodel is underway. Here you see the kitchen back splash being done today. The rest of the house is in a jumble.
A very nice tile crew installs the kitchen back splash
Stay tuned, though. I will return. I am working on a commission at the moment.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Mary.
Your kitchen is looking magnificent, though I am sure you can't wait until it is all finished. Love the idea of your creative weekend. I like the sketches too! Well done and ever so much better than I can manage.
