Hello All!

My sister has been using her subtle, yet powerful, means of persuasion to get me to add to the blog. Uncle Karl's mastery at uploading images was the final insentive. I have to say its taken many attempts to get them in the proper order...........

Often accused (and guilty) of not documenting my adventures.........I'm sharing my visit to Roden Crater this past July. It's the master work of the artist James Turrell. After 25 years, it's unfinished, and not open to the public. It's the hot ticket in the art world- so it was really an unexpected surprise to get an invitation! The artist will be having two of his pieces installed on the roof terrace of the museum I'm currently working on.

Here are 2 links if anyone is interested in learning more about the Crater.
