To students in the Chicago area:
Unfortunately due to illness, I am going to have to cancel tomorrow’s (05-26-12) sketch class. I don’t have a horrible illness, just sore throat, chills, fatigue…I’m sure a few days of rest will be what I need.
Bummer…a holiday weekend too.
I plan to resume class on Saturday, June 30th at the Little Red Schoolhouse.
Until then, keep on practicing your sketches!

Unfortunately, this Saturday’s sketch class at the Little Red Schoolhouse will be cancelled due to illness.
It seems that I am the last in my family to have the stomach virus and it’s stronger than expected. 
One by one everyone got it, but I thought I had beat it. My turn just took a little longer than expected hahahaha.
Anyway, I’m sure I’ll be back to normal in a week or so.
I hope everyone has a joyous Thanksgiving with family and friends!
Keep painting in your journals everyone!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and if you’re in the Chicago area, feel free to join me tomorrow at the Little Red Schoolhouse in Willow Springs, Il, for a hike and a sketch from 9AM – 12PM. We will meet in front of the schoolhouse. Click here to see supply list. This is a free event, I’m trying to promote the love of nature throught art!

There is no doubt that humans have contributed to the out of control rise in carbon dioxide especially within the last 100 years, unless that is, you are a business man or politician. Scientists say right now the atmosphere contains 387 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide. That’s too high! Glaciers are melting, sea level is rising, and the climate is beginning to become unstable. What is a safe upper limit level according to scientists is 350 ppm.
Don’t forget to participate in Earth Hour this Saturday, March 28, 2009 from 8:30pm-9:30pm. What is Earth Hour? It’s a collection of households and businesses turning off their electricity for one particular hour. Many buildings did so last year and the Chicago skyline was changed! Pretty neat. It’s also neat to see data from the electric company on how much energy was saved. Green is good.
