Here are Stan Cropper and his wife Jean at my house this afternoon. I was so excited that they came to see my work and chat. I’d been to the Globe studios a few weeks ago to see Stan’s work which you can read about on the pages of this blog. It was great to show paintings and sketchbooks and share thoughts regarding working outside from the motif, and when and how this all happened in our artistic lives. So much common ground. It felt very special and real. Hopefully the start of many more meetings and even a show together

Here are Stan and Jean in my little studio looking at paintings and sketchbooks. It was such a privilege to share what I make and do with artists whose work I respect and admire.
