Planning for the tour started in February, as I looked at my 'bucket list', for those things which I wanted to achieve in my artistic life. I’ve enjoyed sharing my art knowledge with fellow artists for over fifty years. It’s a joy sketching & painting 'en plein air', over being in a studio. Journaling can be done anywhere; on a ship, a train, car or whatever. This makes it ideal for seniors who can’t or won’t lug an easel and other items used in sketching and painting.

Milling Around SC...
Week of Dec 2: Headed south to Pawley's Island - lots to sketch & paint- and also in Georgetown, SC,...onto Mount Pleasant, where I stayed for several days, as the Charleston, SC session did not take place...so, I spent the next three days sketching sites in & around Mt. Pleasant and Shem Creek - lots of good stuff there. Tuesday ventured into Charleston for a buggy ride thru the old historic district, sketching for the afternoon. Thursday to Beaufort, SC... that's Beau-long 'u', unlike 'Bowfort, NC'. Another great town, lots of history and a buggy tour on Friday also netted me a $50 - yes, $50 parking ticket in an empty city parking lot, while I was on the buggy tour... I did 'appeal' at the town office. Visited the Beaufort Art Association gallery - very nice display of regional art, although too much 'original photography'. On south to Hilton Head Island; had dinner with Phil & Barb Johnson in-laws of my son, Jeff, and stayed overnite at their home on Callawassee Island.
