The day before I flew to Costa Rica I visited one of my favorite places, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met was hosting several great shows including George Bellows, Matisse and Bernini. I also spent time with this Roman copy of a Greek Muse, a sculpture I have probably drawn half a dozen times. Que bella!

I also visited Leda and the Swan by Jacque Sarrazin.

And then, off to Costa Rica. Above is mostly a study of perspective and inquiry into how architecture directs human traffic.

A quick landscape near Paul’s farm.

A quick watercolor painting inspired by the remarkable tropical colors. No wonder Winslow Homer was so inspired!
