Later on I suggested to my friend, Michael Diorgi, the editor of the wonderful new art magazine "Modern Impressionism".. if I might do an article on the show, as it is in a very unique setting in a river valley, with a great old stone bridge and wonderful quay with a great selection of colorful boats lined along it! They gave me ten wonderful pages with many of the photos with most of the text that I had written! I was quite proud of that whole experience!
The second article was in "Plein Air Magazine..they asked me to submit some paintings and text on the experience of being 83 and dealing with the difficulties of the challenges of serious health issues. That was pretty special getting into all of that and being an artist.
I was particularly thrilled that they used an almost "double page spread of this great photo by Kathryn Townsend... of me painting at "Artist Point" between Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan in the North Cascades.
All of this has happened in the last six months and certainly has done wonders for my spirit!
I will be having a feature article on my life and work in the May/June issue of Modern Impressionism.
