The bags are packed and I’m ready to go. I’m giving the blog a quick test-run so that uploading photos and scans of drawings will be easy once overseas. I have decided not to take a computer of my own (mostly to keep baggage and worry to a minimum), but I will be able to submit to the blog while at the Rome Study Center and hopefully from internet cafes in France, England and Scotland.

I have finally pieced together my drawing supplies (india ink, brush, pen, pencil, watercolor pencil and a variety of sketchbooks). Here is a photo – more to come.
