Three from the Driftless

The last month has brought many changes into my life.  A small town in Wisconsin's Driftless area has been calling to me and I have answered the call.  I am ( and have been) in the process of moving and though I have continued to sketch, the blog has taken a back seat.  I am hoping this  new venture will be a creative and life giving change.  I relish more open space, the slower pace and more opportunity for reaching friends (by walking) during the coming winter storms.

Purdy Valley Vacation Rental, Viroqua Wisconsin

The Fourth of July this year was a very "rural american experience", spending some pleasant days with friends, farm animals and scenic valley views in the Driftless region of southwestern Wisconsin.
My friends had actual business with the Amish so it was very interesting to be able to go along to several local Amish farms in order to explore the possibilities for my friend's future needs.
