Hi readers of this art journal!
Today is my 18th Blogiversary. (since 2008!) Hard to fathom. I have been doing a special artist interview for a few of these anniversaries, but I have not contacted anyone yet this year. There is still time.
I am glad to post here anyway today,
to remind myself that i have a blog ... an art journal of a sort, and to post more about my struggles with paint!
The painting above is one of my favorite en plein air paintings. My husband and I were on a road trip to Alaska's interior regions and we stopped at the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge. We hiked back to a beautiful lake and there were a couple of swans being calm and elegant.
And I set up to paint.
I appreciate that you are reading this! Feel free to comment and share. I will soon feature a local Juneau artist for us to learn about.
Just as a reminder, my first interview (2024) was with my artist husband, Matt Robus, (that link sends you to his Working Birds Facebook page). He spoke about his passion, wood carving! ... mostly shorebirds and waterfowl. We both are pretty birdy ...

And, last January (2025), I interviewed Timi Johnson, fabulous Juneau artist.
Her website is: Timi Johnson at Birdland.com.
Take good care of yourselves, families and friends,
Teri
