Cruise to Alaska: Tracy Arm Fjord (07-03-12)

The Inside Passage and Tracy Arm Fjord were the most beautiful part of the cruise... At the risk of sounding cliché, -and I am not one to start posting vacation photos-, but really... WHALES! We saw whales!

The water was an exquisite opaque green, and looked like Jade-ite.

So I spent the day inside one of the ship's restaurants, trying to paint what I saw.

About This Blog

Welcome to my Blog Central, a compendium of entries made in some of the blogs I kept over the last several years.

In this blog, in addition to my sketches and drawings, I may also post stories about some of our attempts at fixing an old farmhouse in Oak Grove, Oregon, as well as posts about various other items of interest.

In short, this is a blog for the eclectic, the unfocused, the round pegs in the square holes, the short-attention span types, and all those who just can't bring themselves to join the ranks and adhere to a single category of activities or interests...

Doing It All

Art is a capricious master. As an artist, I am curious about the world and the times I live in.

I've long struggled with my many interests, and rather than focus on one thing, choose to indulge my passions as unequally and unfairly as possible, to be in turn an observer, an artist, a writer, and to enjoy myself as fully as possible while doing so.

Who knows, you may run into me at a public or cultural event or another... I'm a visual raconteur, the one you'll see sketching in the shadows, in the background...
