Mortified by the recent red paint accident, Agile was hiding in the woods.
Lancelot Really Needed A Vacation - or - A Bad Day In The Studio
On The High Road To Taos
Snow in April is not so appealing. Much nicer to think back and remember our visit to Santa Fe, New Mexico this time last year. As an antidote to the snow and rain I did a couple of quick sketches based on a drive from Taos to Santa Fe. Stopping at numerous small churches along the way, the (hour's) drive only took us about 5 hours to complete.
A weekend of Drawing. Lancelot in New York
As part of our drawing weekend, Lancelot and I went sketching in New York. Of course, going to NY with Lancelot is always a little dodgy as he tends to be attracted to the most unusual people.

Rain, Snow and Sleet
Dismayed by the awful weather and dire forecast Lancelot works on a map of Connecticut inspired by Edward Quin, 1794-1828, and his influential work "An Historical Atlas" published in 1830. Dark clouds cover the earth, gradually receeding to show the expansion of geographical knowledge and the spread of Lancelot's sphere of influence.
Terrible Weather, Lancelot and Edward Quin

Empty Streets
Mixed media collage of an old shopping street in Japan. I look at the "ghost" in the doorway and grieve for the streets swept away.

The last snow finally disappears from the garden.
By the time I returned from my errands at 4 pm yesterday, the last of the snow had finally disappeared. Lancelot, Agile and Wilfred are celebrating the end of winter, having decided to give austerity up for Lent.
Agile Shows Off His New Tattoos.
Lancelot was vehemently against it, Wilfred refused to underwrite it, but Agile was adamant. In order to be taken seriously as an up and coming artist or "Style Dile" he HAD to have a tattoo. Reluctantly I lent him my 10 strip off peak Metro North ticket and he headed off to the East Village....

Lancelot and Picasso
Even though they were technically on vacation, Lancelot, Agile and Wilfred are always working. After a visit to MOMA to see the "Picasso's Guitars" show, Lancelot felt very inspired.
