Finally after about 15 years of coming to Havana, I got a private tour of the Hemingway Museo in Finca Vigia which is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in San Miguel del Padron. Lucky for me I am within blocks so I will go back again and take some

After a “Weekend in Toronto” I gathered some found paper from our daily walks and decided to play with a series of small collages to satisfy the itch to get back in the studio. Here is the first one. 6x8” on strathmore mixed media,

Inspired by the Brooklyn collaging adventures of CecilTouchon and Les Jones, I decided that since I was going to be doing a lot of walking in Toronto this past weekend, why not gather collage materials! Now that I am back in the studio I might spend
