My travels out west

I just got back from an inspirational trip in every way- the landscape, the color, the art, the people, did I mention the people.  I attended an artist workshop in Santa Fe that was amazing by itself.  Everything we did fed my soul, including the beautiful cowboy boots I bought on consignment in the 15 minutes we had left of our day. I highly recommend worn in boots. Anyway, back to the inspiration.

Here are a few images I created while at the workshop and just some of the wacky things my travel partner, Janet Mesic Mackie and I found ourselves doing.  No one got naked as Janet promised but that is a story for another day.

A special thank you to Michael O’ Brian our instructor and fearless leader, his amazing wife Elizabeth and my new friends- Sara, Michael, Dave, Steve, Javid, Dottie, Bill and of course Janet!

My new favorite quote-

Say yes! Yes! ….Yes, yes, yes!
