All bloomy! I *heart* spring.

Ahhhhhh, the trees, they are a blooming! Here are some in our neighborhood:

One week to go.

Hi! One week until I head back to France for another class with the good folk at Studio Escalier. I'm very much looking forward to it - a 3 week drawing class in Paris, then some time in Dublin (for fun). Here's an example of one of the paintings I did in the portrait class I took from Studio Escalier in Argenton-Chateau last April 2007:

Another painting.

Singing the praises of Greensboro, NC.

We took a trip up to Greensboro, NC (1 hr, 15min WNW of Raleigh) for an art show on Friday, 4/4. I took some pictures this trip because Greensboro, it was charming me. It was throwing charm around. I may have a wee, itty bitty crush on Greensboro (with all apologies to my home of Raleigh):

Greensboro fashion, baby.

Brick, ironwork, funky sculpture. What's not to love?

Angry Beethoven lives on in downtown Greensboro.
