Home!

We are home now. A wonderful 6 weeks of painting and exploring Scotland and Ireland.
I'll continue to post paintings. Here's one from October 3, 2015

"Local 8724", Near Bantry, Ireland, 7x10", oil on panel by Jan Norsetter

And a note about wet panel carrying:

Spent 6 weeks traveling and painting in Scotland and Ireland. Both are beautiful countries but rather wet. I made two boxes, each hold 12 wet panels that are 7” x 10”. Thought that would be enough and that some of the paintings would dry along the way. I ended up with over 40 wet or slightly tacky panels. How to get them home? The really wet paintings went into the carriers. For the rest I bought a package of large, 1/4” wide rubber bands and put them on the short edges of each panel, stacked the panels, and bound them together with stretch wrap. Tape would have worked too - just to keep them from shifting too much. Success.
