Our guide was wonderful. She taught us both how to dog sled, how to mush, how to ride along, and how to love dogs even more! At the end of our excursion, she introduced us to the entire dog team…one by one and by name! Here’s to you, Maestra! Extreme Huskies near Ivalo, Finland.

It’s cold; and it stays dark later and gets dark earlier. I took the reference photo for this freehand iPad painting at 9:26 this morning, January 18, 2023; sunset was 1:53 PM.

A few weeks ago Annyth and I got to see Jorma Kaukonen and John Harlbut at the River Of Time Boutique in Uptown Athens. That was on December 16, 2023. Now that we’re back in Athens we get to see first hand cool things like this. I took a photo between songs which I used as a photo reference for this freehand iPad digital painting. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and the live music warmed our souls. Annyth bought a really cool apron there too.
This isn’t Jorma’s first appearance on this illustroblog. Check out these two other posts, one of which tells the story of my weekend at the Fur Peace Ranch back in the early 2000s when I learned at camp directly from Jorma himself that, when it comes to finger picking, the secret is in the thumb: yep, click here.
