As you know, I’ve been off on a painting adventure into northern Minnesota and the North Shore of Lake Superior. Last week I reported from Cooperstown, ND where we narrowly escaped a shelf cloud storm. Our travels since then have taken us as planned. It is really flat across most of that country, at least from the Black Hills in …
Good Morning. I’ve got a few important announcements that I’d like to pass along. I’m happy to announce an active show schedule for this year. If you happen to be in the area of any of these, I welcome you to stop by and get acquainted. As you know by following along so far I just returned from the Plein Air …
The Plein Air Convention in Tucson, Arizona is coming up next week. I mention this because I’ll be there. This will be the 4th Plein air Convention. The previous 3 were in Monterey, CA. I advertise in the Plein Air Magazine so I thought I should go to the convention to see what it is all about. New development for …
I spent some time between playoff games this past weekend planning my plein air show schedule for 2016 on a large “year at a glance” wall calendar. I blocked out the days of the shows and entered the entry deadlines to help keep me stay on track. I have to do this because I am notorious for forgetting to meet the …
2016 Happy New Year!! Starting a new year today gives us all an opportunity for do-overs or to make plans for the coming year. Perhaps one might want to make this year a better one than last year or merely continue the great ride last year was. That’s probably where I am at. I have a number of great things …
Well, it’s good to be home. Rolled the big two wheeler into my driveway yesterday afternoon about 2:00 after a 16 day, 4,838 mile tour through Northern British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. I managed to get 16 watercolor paintings done to add to the collection of memories. I took this ride by myself so I could …
Yes, I’m back in the US of A. My second night actually. When I left you good folks a couple of days ago I was in Canmore, Alberta, Canada. I crossed back into the US that afternoon at the Chief Mountain crossing between Waterton National Park, AB and St. Mary, Montana. It’s a really nice small border crossing, sort of …
I’ve been through Jasper and Banff National Parks before and have never encountered the crowds that are here now. This is crazy.I rolled into Jasper in good time yesterday, about 3 in the afternoon. Usually when you get into a town that early, it’s not a problem getting room. I looked for almost an hour and finally resigned myself to …
Today’s ride, although through some really scenic country and punctuated from time to time with rain, had no special stops, so I thought I’d take this time we have together and do some filling in the gaps of the trip so far. I left Houston this morning in the rain. You may recall that I was hanging out at the motel for …
Had one of the best days of the ride so far and it was even raining. Ha! Left Terrace in the rain and reluctantly took the turn to Kitamaat Village, in the rain. It’s not far from Terrace, maybe 60 kilometers but it was raining and I couldn’t see the point. Yesterday was a turn around day for me. Time …
