Road Trip




 Art In Progress
Finish Your Veggies, 15.5x15.5, preliminary sketch and underpainting on panel

I am headed out with my family (husband, 2 kids, 2 dogs) in a 30-foot RV for a trip from here in  Orlando to the Grand Canyon. We are going across Route 66 and estimate we will be gone a little over 2 weeks. I am taking collage supplies, some prepared and some blank panels with me. I hope to document art made on this trip via my blog. Highlights will include work in progress and how to work with a limited amount of supplies. I also hope to come home with some decent work, because I have a show in Melbourne, FL in mid July and the work will need to be finished, framed and ready early in the month.

Remember when I said I was looking for inspiration? Travel and a deadline should just about do it! Stay tuned...

Everyone's going on holidays. I will miss your posts from your trip. There'll be lots of looking when I return after being away a month with little opportunity for blogging.

Have a great trip ... the GC is bound to inspire you. I was there many years ago and it catches your breath with wonder! Be safe and I look forward to reading tales from the 30 ft RV! Getting out of Florida to see other lands, towns, cities, people and weather will be filled with great creative moments!
