More from my Sketchbook Project book... in a sketchbook about Calistoga and the area around it, I couldn't leave out a Brannan cottage, named for Sam Brannan, who originally developed Calistoga as a spa town, and who built these sweet little cottages. Three remain; this one is part of the Sharpsteen Museum, on Washington Street.

Just down Washington Street a little, and across the street, is our City Hall, probably one of the funkier city halls in the state. I especially like the Christmas lights strung around the windows and across the top of the roofline and steeple. Although the lights are only on at night around the holidays, at the right time during the day, they cast wonderful shadows.

My sketchbook, entitled "Travel with me... to the Napa Valley," travels to exhibits around the country and beyond for most of the rest of the year, beginning at the Brooklyn Art Library (the sponsor and coordinator of the show), in Brooklyn, NY, from April 14th through the 30th.

It will come to San Francisco in June... and I see that when it goes to the Boston area, it will go to Lynn, Massachusetts (an old industrial town once, and long, known for shoe manufacturing). My ancestors on the Ingalls side founded Lynn (the third oldest town founded by Europeans in Massachusetts), so it seems like a nice kind of circularity.

I also teach private, group, and corporate art workshops in Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and other parts of Northern California.
