The Sketchbook

a special edition newsletter

Volume 4 | April 3, 2020

I came across some resources included in this special edition. Please share and revisit my newsletter in the days ahead.

My heart goes out to Italy and the Whole World
Hello everyone. I hope you are staying safe during these difficult times. As we all try to cope I would like to share some thoughts, along with exercise and other videos and a podcast that you may find helpful to get through each day. Though we are all staying inside we can still stay connected via email and social media. As I self isolate, I have set up a small area of my home as an art studio. I will be sharing videos as I sketch and paint from home. We will get through this. Please let me know how you are doing. Also, visit me on my social media.

I hope that you find these resources helpful.
Stay in and stay safe!
Exercising at home can be challenging in the best of times. I came across this indoor walking video that I like to follow.



Here is a link to a podcast from "Happier with Gretchen Rubin" on coping during this public health crisis

This TED talk on why it helps to draw may be of interest for artists, educators, and just about everyone who is curious about the thinking process.

A How-To-Video

I am often asked how to subscribe or to leave a comment on my YouTube channel. Here's a how-to video that does a good job of explaining the steps for both.

I'm in a group show with friends at the Court Tree Gallery. This painting of the mountains near Cortona is one of my paintings on display. Due to Covid 19 the exhibit is presently virtual.

I am providing a link to both the gallery website and their online shop. I look forward to the day when we are all back to normal and socializing together.
Please respond to this email if you have any questions or just want to say hello.

Stay posted for more information about upcoming virtual events.

Stay Safe or as they say in Italian, Stati Attenti!
