My toilet bowl cleaner of choice has always been Lysol. I love the bottle mechanics. I love the depth of the blue color. But, I do not love that it smells like a gum flavor that I would like to try. Not under the given circumstances.
Sketched a columbine with my students on the last night of watercolor class tonight. Teaching is a delight.

I’m excited to begin teaching my 8 week traditional watercolor landscape painting class tomorrow through the Art Center of Saint Peter. Lesson plans are finalized, materials are organized, and we even ended up with a waitlist. I’m excited.

A tiny abstract watercolor to tie off the week.
Last commission from this huge year. My friend from college has become an incredible triathlete. He turned over a trove of race photos, and asked for my take. I love the result.
All set up for the Minnesota Title Association, hosted by Madden’s at Gull Lake. What a beautiful location and venue! I love my job.
Still love you, Colorado.
More work to be done, but enjoyable progress up at the architectural gem, Chapel on the Rock.

Destroying infrastructure week?
In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.
What rhymes with charade?
The beginning of every episode of FRIENDS should have started with, “Phoebeously on friends…”

Sometimes I paint on the fly. Sometimes I paint from a source. “Conservatory” has a source: the National Botanic Gardens, Washington D.C.
Absolutely thrilled to have just sold Consevatory, 4 x 4 ft., acrylic on canvas.
One of the absolute best songs.
