The Dusty Sand of Doha
My plan all along was to gather a bit of the sand of Doha before I left for the sand-stony ground of home. As it turned out, it was harder to find than I expected. Everywhere I went was nothing but pavement and cobblestone pavers. Any ground I saw usually was either landscaped medians between …

Art Satchel-A Souvenir from Doha
This old, beat-up looking camel leather bag is my new art satchel. I love it. It’s a souvenir from Doha, Qatar, where I’ve spent the last two weeks. It has enough room to hold my paints, journal, a few favorite pencil colors, brushes and rags. It even holds my easel, if I don’t mind the …

Gold in them thar hills? Ozarkians in the Rockies
I doubt there’s any gold in them thar hills of the Ozarks. Right now, though, we’re on a prospecting mission in the Rockies. Part of my soul lives out there where the mountains are a mile and more high. However, the Ozark hills make more sense for doing all the other things I enjoy doing, …

Abu Dhabi Engages All Five Senses
There are three sounds I’ll associate with Abu Dhabi for the rest of my life. Sounds The first is the sound of prayer during the dark wee hours of the night. It’s a haunting sound, one I liked even if I couldn’t understand the words and don’t follow the religion they’re from. The sound of …
