Home!

Hello everyone! I am home! Actually, I have been home for 8 days.

I arrived in Philadelphia from San Francisco on April 20th at a few minutes before 6:00AM on the red eye. My cab was waiting for me and I got home before 7:00AM.

The house looked so good to see. I noticed that the azaleas were in bloom but not much else. I went straight to bed for about 7 hours. Boy, that jet lag was tough to beat. It took almost a week to get rid of.

I downloaded the pictures of my trip onto my computer and edited some. Many will be a good source for future oil paintings and pastel pieces.

Today will be lunch with friends. Tomorrow, I will be back in the studio.

Enjoy today, that is all that you can count on, if you are lucky.

Bye for today.

Trip to the Philippeans

April 13, 2010

I am on the island of Siquijor, in the south central Philippines. My daughter, Elaine and I arrived on April 2nd. We have been touring the country, spending time in Boracay first.

The country is beautiful..beaches have crystal clear waters, tropical palm trees and plants.

The people are very friendly and most speak English. The food is very plain. A mickey d's burger will be my first item when I get back to the States!

Many photos were taken, so I hope to have some good ideas for painting when I return.

Enjoy the view all.
