Now the pen is directed to book work and filling out order forms for my store Northwoods Gallery & Gifts. This, I realize, is a required element in my life as it allows me the opportunities of travel again in the future. I do hope one day to sell the store which will enable me to immerse myself in the arts of painting and writing, but for now I will be happy to squeeze minutes from my day to continue on with my art. Who knows what tomorrow brings, it is today I have and I will endeavor to make the best of it.
I've had many welcome me back to this side of the world and all are full of questions. I see the spark in their eyes as they ask me what it is like to see all of these magical places. Did I manage to get some good painting and writing done? What was my favorite place to visit? Would you do this again? Can I come and carry your brushes for you next trip? As I write this I am smiling wishing I could take everyone with me to show them firsthand this incredible world.
I am presently working on writing a book and my hope is through my paintings and writings others will see and experience what my eyes and heart have seen.

My hope is that this highway be a long and interesting one for each of us to explore. I have many stories to share and will post them as time permits.
Now the studio awaits and my brushes are calling!
