Here are some photos of my talk two weeks ago about my Hong Kong street market paintings at the Yale-China Association as part of the New Haven Festival of Arts & Ideas. My paintings are on exhibit at Yale-China through the summer. Thanks to everyone who came to the talk, and to Yale-China for being such great hosts.

Here's a dream I had one recent night:

On a recent trip to NYC I took a ride on the carousel at Bryant Park which is the location for one of my Travels of Nimbus prints.

I've just returned from a week in Venice with two of my children. Here are some of our sketches:

 
 
I once worked in Venice for half a year and fell in love with this magical city. It's an important place for me, and I want to share it with my family. April is such a nice time to go since it's neither too crowded nor too hot, and the wisteria is in full bloom.
 
 
My two children were the best travel and sketching companions. We walked for miles exploring remote parts of the city and loved riding on the boats around the lagoon.
 
 
The weather was perfect. For two days it was clear enough to see the entire range of snowcapped alps across the horizon to the north.
 

 
 
We had such a great time, and I want to return again soon.
 
Farewell, Venice. A dopo!
