		<title>Traveling Art Practice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello! We&#8217;re in England  for an extended family visit and I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about what an art practice does—the subject of my next book. Traveling has totally interrupted my regular practice in ways that were making me a little anxious. When I packed my bag, I made sure I had colored pencils, watercolors, [...]]]></description>

		<title>More at The Saturday Morning Drawing Club</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi there! We took our drawing practice into the paint department at the Saturday Morning Drawing Club this weekend. First we splashed watercolor or gouache on some heavyweight paper—just cheap card stock actually. I&#8217;d gone out early in the morning with scissors to steal some blossoms from the trees behind the art center and had [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Saturday Morning Drawing Club Resumes!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The spring session of The Saturday Morning Drawing Club resumed this weekend! We warmed up by doing blind contour drawings of a vase of tulips. We all love doing blind contour drawings where we just look at the object in front of us and not our paper. The drawings are always loose and full of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Percolating!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Winter over and hibernation/incubation too! Hello there! Hope you&#8217;re well and that winter in your neck of the woods was as kind this year as it was in Boston. I&#8217;ve mostly been working on children&#8217;s books this winter (more on that another time) but something fun is percolating—The Saturday Morning Drawing Club online! The Saturday [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poem: Hokusai by Roger Keyes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Saturday&#8217;s art class, one of my students brought in this beautiful poem by Roger Keyes. Especially love that Hokusai recommends getting stuck and letting things happen, whatever they might be. Hokusai by Roger Keyes Hokusai says Look carefully. He says pay attention, notice. He says keep looking, stay curious. He says there is no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Looking for Art In New York City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We went down to New York last week for a few days holiday. We thought of going somewhere warm but thought New York would be more fun. We could visit galleries and walk around. So down we went, with nothing in particular on our agenda. The first evening, we were heading out of our hotel [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the Studio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working in the studio and have begun my new series—inspired by Pop Art but with a twist. More soon on that—with visuals. Yesterday my good friend, the fantastic folk artist, Maggie Stern, popped in for a visit. It was great to have her see what I was doing. We don&#8217;t need permission to make [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wealthy Artist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[These are tough economic times and tough times are tougher still for artists. Even the rich stop forking out for art and the competition for grants, commissions, assignments, sales and even teaching gigs increases. Artists can get discouraged, for sure. Some might even give up or, worse, try to sell themselves short. Some of us [...]]]></description>
