Now in Eureka, CA

Now we live near the mudflats in Eureka, CA.

Don't we move around?

We like the changes of scenery and the changes of mood in different parts of the world and we think the best way to get to know the world for us is to move around. We like to stay in every new place  for a long enough time to walk all the paths until they are quite familiar, do some work, met some people and check out the plants and animals. Breathing the different air and hearing the different sounds are important to us too.

I have been working full time and part-time with the special education people in the Eureka public schools--not so much with the craft workshop aspect of the kid's educational program, as with their whole schooltime activities.

We have been here more than a year now and recently I have had more time to work on my own projects--mostly papier mache and colored pencil sketching.

Here are two of the drawings I have made:

Here is a sketch of Pablo Picasso--probably the most influential "fine" artist of the 20th century

...and a sketch of another great 20th century  artist, Salvador Dali.

I am enjoying studying the lives of these well-known aetists and it is quite interesting for me to sketch  their portraits from videos or photographs.
