Hi Mon@arch,
Thanks for stopping by, I love teaching my nature sketching classes and love being out hiking around with a sketchbook by myself even more! Thanks for the compliments! I checked out your blog and love it, Great photos, please let me paint from your photos! I get inspired by good photos and would definitely give you photo credit.
I went to the Allegany Pilgrimage last year for the first time and was blown away! I LOVED it, I think you can gather that from the posts I put up on my blog. I was hoping to be able to teach there this year but I can't even go! I'll be back in England to try to teach my classes there and hopefully hook up with bird of prey centers to sell my prints, maybe teach my class. I've been concentrating on painting birds of prey, most especially owls.
Did you go to the pilgrimage last year?
Have you ever gone to the Great Adirondack Birding weekend? I went last year...wow! I loved that, you should go if you love birds.
I'd be honored if you added my blog to your wonderful list of blogs!
thanks,
Mary

Hi there how are you? I was looking through your blog and found it interesting and wanted to leave you a comment.

I have an invitation for you to come and visit my art blog here in San Diego Southern California. I started this blog in an attempt at finding a creative way to deal with some medical conditions I was then experiencing and now am going through again. I hope you will stop by and become friendly. :)

I think that you may enjoy the various labels and music videos I design for my art blog, hope to see you here soon and take care :)

Hi Jesse,
your blog is interesting, I didn't have time to look at the videos, but I see you like to write, paint and do the videos. Interesting. I love the photos of the trees...are they yours? Wow. I'd be inspired to paint them for sure.
Mary
