Getting into the bush plane while leaving Alaska, I tripped and landed hard on my shoulder. Now rotator cuff damage, therapy and very grateful it was my left arm. Painful but paint with my right, and I got to kayak on Lake Clark so all is good. One of those very grateful moments.

Now packed for Paris, renter has moved in, and ready to hug and spend time with Paris family. We lost the patriarch, Alain Bouvant last night to cancer and he will be sorely missed. I would have liked one last time to see him but felt so honored he had one of my paintings on his hospital wall to keep him company. A wonderfully kind, talented, funny man.

Once I land, get organized and start painting I will try and post them on Wednesdays. All work will be available through The City Art Gallery in Greenville, NC
