It's hard to believe, but my husband and I just returned from our seventh cross-country trip!
We're always thankful to get home safely, but the way the views change each time we travel across this beautiful nation is just astounding. From a sunrise in Ohio to a rainbow in New Mexico, it seems we are greeted with special gifts daily.
Because it's where our family lives, we spend most of our travel time in California. This year I'm commemorating our six favorite sights in California with a special series of limited linocut prints. Designs will include the Joshua Trees in the Mojave Desert (see pic below of my rough design draft), the Golden Hills, the vineyards of Napa, South Lake Tahoe, the infamous Donner Pass and the iconic Highway 101.
Honestly, I have no idea how long it will take me to design, carve and print all six linoprints, but progress posts and videos will be available on my website (StephanieHooverArt.com) and my YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@stephaniehooverart.
Have you ever driven across country? If so, I'd love to hear about your experiences! Feel free to email me, or leave a comment on any of my videos. We all see the world differently, and your feelings about your travels would interest me greatly.
I won't be sending another update until December, so in the meantime, have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
Until my next newsletter: Be well, be happy and be kind (especially to yourself.)
