Entry for May 16, 2006
The coming summer feels like a time that will bring a major shift in my universe. To begin, I closed my Menlo Park studio at the end of April. Others there were uncomfortable with my opening the studio to visitors off hours--and other mildly commercial activities. So it seemed time to move on.
In order to provide me with an at-home studio, Robert and I expect to move to a larger place this summer. We are looking at Sunnyvale and Santa Clara since Mountain View has few such places to offer. So we will have to say goodbye to Mountain View soon.
During June, I will be on the road--visiting relatives, attending a wedding, celebrating a graduation, maybe sighting a few great views along the way with artistic potential. Travel often brings me a welcome new perspect on my life. I once tried Federal Highways 50 and 36 to get from California to indiana--and loved the pace and the scenery.
Going through Nevada, Utah, and Colorado on Highway 50 was like a 3-day tour through a national park. The Great Basin area is an almost-unknown national treasure. To be seen to be believed! This year I plan to go this way again and bring my trusty digital camera.
Let's hear from you, Carol

my name is vivian and i'm just getting started in watercolor and I really didn't think i'd like it but then I reallized when I had a happy accident that maybe this is something I could do. Its just that there're are some terms that I don't understand. I'm self taught because I just can't afford to go to classes but i'm determind.

I hope all your watercolor accidents are happy ones! If you can't afford classes, you might try one of the books I have used to learn more, like several by Roland Roycroft.
