Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by! On this blog, I hope to share some of the daily learning, growth, experimenting and sometimes, struggling, I have with this wonderful life of mine - being a full time artist and instructor.
My artistic pursuits (currently) include painting and selling my original watercolor paintings and teaching sketching on virtual location through the use of technology! Please check out www.ImaginaryTrips.com for more information.
As the days fly by, I find that art helps me to live the breadth, the width, and the depth of my life, not just the length! I do hope you'll join me on the journey!
Tee hee, now don't be to cruel to him. Happy Birthday Cris. I hope you have a great day. I also hope you react well to being the elder of the family for a few months.
Happy Birthday Chris! May all your birthday wishes come true. I am sure Laure worked her magic to make certain this was a special day. From what is posted on this blog, we the readers know that you are a fabulous fellow and a great supporter of your artistic wife. So kuddos to you! :-) Again, Happy Birthday!!!
