5.31.2024 From Cranbrook, I headed into the Kootenay Rockies Very dramatic! After about 100 miles, I passed over the Crowsnest Pass into Alberta But all good things come to an end eventually, and I descended from the mountains to the plains See ya later, Rockies! It got flat very quickly Oh look! A train! I rolled into Swift Current, Saskatchewan at around 5pm. Almost missed a lurid sunset! Anne, how could you? Day 4 complete. 430 miles, about 8 hours. Every week, I’ll go into detail about each day of my recent road trip.While you wait for next week’s Day 5 installment - Swift Current, SK to Steinbach, MB - get previews [...]

5.29.2024 The next leg of the trip was arduous. I forgot to take Seattle Traffic into consideration. But let’s start at 7am, when the Hi-Lo Cafe opened [...]
5.28.2024 Left LA at about 7:30am! Determined to get to Weed in daylight! (I vividly remember the time I was driving up there in the dark. The shoulders’ rumble strips saved my life, as I was nodding off. Hence the daylight concern). Had to get gas at Costco because they were closed on Memorial Day [previous day]. Bad traffic getting to the freeway up Lincoln (bad choice). Once I got on the 405 it was easy breezy. [...]
I recently returned home from a big road trip: 7870 miles, 2 days north, 7 days across Canada, [8 days doing non road trip activites], 6 days westbound. [...]

In 2014, I did a very long road trip, circumnavigating the contiguous US. I crowdfunded the journey, and one of the rewards was an 8x5" ink sketch, drawn from life. I ended up mostly sketching breakfasts! [...]
Howard Russell Butler is my Great Great Uncle. I never met him, but he is a huge influence on my art. [...]

This month, I will be blogging my way through the alphabet, as part of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. With each letter, I am going to feature something about my art work. Today is Arizona day (because AZ, get it?). [...]
I’ve been writing Patreon posts about my 2014 road trip and the journal that I intended to keep.(I didn’t actually journal in it until later) My intention for the trip was to drive solo, counterclockwise around the 48 contiguous states, on US Highways and Interstates as close to the edge of the country as possible. It took me two months and over 10,000 miles. Upon reviewing the post about the first day, I see room for improvement. Let’s try one more time! [...]
