Home Again ...
Even as I boarded the plane in San Francisco to return to New Jersey I missed the landscape, the steep rolling hills spotted with live oaks. I am already counting the days until air drenched with the scent of bay trees and eucalyptus will fill my lungs. In an attempt to adjust to my New Jersey routine, I started the morning with fountain pen and paint playing The Color Scheme Game.

Over the next couple of weeks I will post more of the plein air paintings from Mount Diablo, Mountain View and Tomales Bay. Spending several days alone, camping near the summit of Mount Diablo allowed me time to reflect on priorities and precautions. It is clear to me that I want to spend more time exploring the hills and mountains with pen and paint. It is also clear, after my experience with the wild pig, that I need a tracking device so that my family doesn't worry about my solo adventures. Already I am planning to spend two weeks camping in Yosemite. For those of you who also enjoy the outdoors with brush in hand, I plan to offer multiple day workshops in State and National Parks beginning next year. Stay tuned! I hope you will join me either at a workshop or just for a day of painting en plein air together.
