ramblin' fever...

if you cornered me... and asked when this love affair started... I wouldn't have a good answer...

for as long as I can remember... the things I don't know... trump the things I do...
Picture
before I really begin...I would like to apologize to my dad personally for not including all of the beautiful sunsets... and scenery photos that have been a part of this last year... instead... I am going to show off the weird and personal things I have seen...
Picture
I have been feeling a little guilty lately. I haven't given my art the attention it deserves... but tonight I realized something... I have been around the world this year...

I could feel bad about not painting more... but that seems silly now. I have seen so much... been to so many places... and travel only makes me more antsy... I spent most of the week trying to figure out how to spend a month in Barcelona this spring to paint and explore....

I have been all over this country... and I just returned home from Norway... but I have an insatiable appetite for travel... unpacking my suitcase only makes me want to pack it back up again....
Picture
I realized recently that this has been my most traveled year to date... I have been to Chicago (twice), new York, Puerto rico, the virgin islands, Norway, bayfield, Duluth, Arizona, las vegas, gunflint lake (i saw a moose), Detroit, Milwaukee, Madison, Denver, new Orleans ... Mandan!  by rail... and probably others I have forgotten...
Picture
the thing is I worry I am getting jaded. this seems like business as usual... all I can think about is plotting my next adventure... someone posted this online today... you're supposed to fill out the states you've been to.... green means you've been to them a lot... here is my map...
Picture
I looked at this map and felt disappointed.... look at all of the places I don't know that well... look at all the holes... Oregon!? the Carolinas!? I feel like it's time to pack everything up and start exploring again...

I wish everyone could just get in the car and go... to see the mountains... and the prairies.. and the giant cities that this vast country has to offer... I swear that a road trip will cure everything on your mind. it gives you a perspective that is worth more than thousands in college tuition... see your nation. please.

the thing I like most about these photographs.... is that you have no idea where they are from.... because they are from everywhere.... and nowhere...
