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!
The first Imaginary Trip to Greece is scheduled to begin on April 26th and registration is now open! I hope you'll come and enjoy this beautiful country with me. Rich in color and culture, Greece is a treasure trove of history, diversity and beauty.
Ancient ruins, azure seas, wineries and olive groves are just a few of the things we'll see as we wander through this sun-kissed land.
I do hope you'll join me! Please click here for more information.
Yippe!! I can't think of a better way to start my week than to sign up for this class! I've always wanted to go to Greece. Looking forward to the class. ;-)
I've just signed up - can't wait! DH promised me a trip to Greece "someday" so this will definitely put me in the mood. And I'm glad to seem some of my favorite art buddies will be traveling with me!!
Wish I could be there with you, but I'll be already in Greece ....LIVE. Don't forget to taste tzatziki with retsina wine or a glass of ouzo (with ice and water) with grilled octopus....delicious
