Passing through Richmond…

When you are passing through Richmond on I95, you are always amazed by this Beaux Arts 1901 intermodal station (architect - Wilson, Harris & Richards)…take the time to pull off, drive below the interstate, and rest at the base of the station and enjoy the collision of transportation (new and old)!

From the Garden

Sketching in Santa Fe

April 2025, Holly and I went to Santa Fe to knit and sketch…worked with vibrant colors and sketching techniques to develop better ways to tell stories and to capture the heart of the setting, place, and culture. Learned under Ian Fennelly, esteemed artist out of the UK through Madeline Island School of the Arts.
