I spent a week in Portland, Maine, attending the “Feed Your Soul” program for high school art teachers sponsored by the Maine College of Art (MECA).  I  was able to attend art classes and have time to work in a studio while also being in the beautiful city of Portland in the summer.  I really can’t complain.  I discovered that I have a lot to work on in my studio practice (rusty skills) but I can improve even in one week.  Making art is a luxury in our world and I appreciate that I have been given this time and ability to take advantage of wonderful opportunities.

My drawings are in the middle but I find the ones to right of mine more compelling.
