I am back from Sedona - had a GREAT time. It was the perfect trip except maybe a little bit too short. Thank you for the eating recommendations - the food was amazing! We drove up to Jerome while we were there, a small town built onto the side of a mountain with narrow winding streets and some really impressive art, though mostly only jewelry, pottery and glass. In Sedona we stayed in the Sky Ranch Lodge which I recommend. It is set up on a cliff, facing the town and the mountains opposite. We had a little deck with chairs and sat out every evening with wine to watch the sun go down.

I decided to try painting these 2 cups again that I bought a while ago. I have tried several times with no success. This is the best yet.

View from Sedona

This is a view from Sedona, AR, where I am currently on vacation. None of my pictures do this place any kind of justice, and I didn't have enough sunlight to photograph my painting for today. But here is a picture anyway. I am having a great time - trying to jam-pack everything into 3 days. My friend and I ran into Albert Handell today in the parking lot of our lodge, by chance. We were strangers to him, but he very kindly showed us his paintings which were beautiful! What a small world this is.

Tomorrow I leave on a little vacation to Sedona, AR, with my friend Randi. We are going to hike and paint and visit galleries. I am wondering if any of you have been there and can recommend places to eat. Thanks! I'll post some pictures while I'm there, and possibly some plein air paintings. Back on Sunday. Toodles!

"Plum on the Side" --- SOLD

I get some great comments on this blog, but since I spend most of my time chasing after an almost 2-yr-old and the rest painting, I don't usually have time to seek out the comment givers and thank them. So, I'd like to say thank you so much to all of you. You've been very supportive, and it is VERY much appreciated! THANK YOU!

"Crazy Stems" --- SOLD

I know this one's very similar to yesterday's post, but I wanted to take another shot at it.
