Happy Thanksgiving!
For those of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving this week, I hope it's a happy holiday with lots of food and family to love.

Sicily Tour - West Coast
Sicily is a triangle, with two long sides coming to a rounded point on its western edge. Palermo, to the north, is a bustling city, but otherwise the places we toured in the west were rather quiet and picturesque.

Barcelona - Part 1

Finally Finished "Pegasus Spiral"
I've been working on the painting shown here for months. Not continuously, obviously, but on and off for a great many hours. I believe I've painted the entire thing twice and certain parts four or five times. There's just a compulsion to get the piece exactly as I want it, and I don't always know what I want until I start working on it. I've ( Read more... ) -
