More Art, more Galleries. One blister! Calk Farm Gallery was the best!

New Mexico

Driving through the desert was enlightening. The power of time, wind and water on rock is like looking at the hand of God indeed! We sure do have a big country here.

Arrived in Santa Fe and spent the day going to galleries. What wonderful artists, what magical creative things. It is enough to boggle the mind. More artwork tomorrow.

Grand Canyon

Arrived in Flag Staff with 70 degree weather but at night it turned cold like...36 degrees. We went to a tappon resturant for dinner it was great fun and delicious. Drove to the canyon today with the help of the GPS. The El Tovar is great with very comfortable large rooms. Surprised to fine I got a little sunburnt even though we were not in the sun that much. Tomorrow we will do some hiking.

Preperation for trip

Leaving on Fri the 12th to go to Philly and then Fly west with Viki & rent a car to the Grand canyon and Colorado to see my sister. I expect to be inspired by all the wonderful art I will see on this trip. My sister is as excited about it as I am..........maybe more!

Rigged my camera today with a strap to carry around my neck. Ready to draw and shot those great shots.
I have learned so much lately looking at the great artists on Flickr....At least now my eyes have been opened so I see a little more of the beauty in the small and everyday glimpses of light and magic around me.

Packing light but taking the computer ..... always hard to leave it behind ...maybe it will mean less shoes.....scarifies must be made.

Old dog learns new tricks

I have started a blog ......really never thought I would! My joining flickr and youtube has been enlightening. Isolated as I am with so much to learn. One click at a time. My dharma heartland is here. I am finding inspiration from the work of other artists around the world.
