Here is the quick update...

It's been an amazing summer. I finished off my first year of Grad school (MFA, painting), went to Japan, canoe'd the Boundary waters of Northern MN, explored: Chicago-Indianapolis-Cleveland, went to upstate NY, Niagra Falls and painted alot.
Things are winding down and the temps are rising.
I am getting ready to teach my first university class, Drawing 1. Should be fun. Stay tuned.
