Pity that the spending on this trip probably means I'll not get back to Maine in the near future. You'll just have to get over here with Raquele. There's always a room here for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350381570737387904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468843067640834925.post-37467973222485321572012-04-06T12:14:36.039-07:002012-04-06T12:14:36.039-07:00Peter - Good advice as I know from previous visits...Peter - Good advice as I know from previous visits.

At least one canvas board per day and one large watercolour plus a watercolour sketch book for small memory pieces that I can annotate in terms of painting and other impressions. Having said that I will have a small compact camera with me as a further note taker. As I'm going alone I don't have anyone else to think about and can immerse myself in trying to create some images and try out some techniques. At the moment I'm poring over guide books and maps to try and plan the basic structure of my days. Hopefully I'll manage a bit of the familiar and mix it with some of the less known corners.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350381570737387904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468843067640834925.post-44078918390229398422012-04-05T03:22:13.412-07:002012-04-05T03:22:13.412-07:00You lucky thing wow!

Have you thought about a no camera holiday where you have to paint each day to journal it all? I have heard that can be a challenge. This is a lovely painting Mick.Caroline Simmillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598525698486576546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3468843067640834925.post-39743519946466712792012-04-05T02:16:06.127-07:002012-04-05T02:16:06.127-07:00Ray - Apologies, I didn't realise that inferna...Ray - Apologies, I didn't realise that infernal feature was operating on my blog.
