I Made it to Victor, Idaho (And Feel Rather Rested...Read Why....)

I headed out last Monday on my way to Victor, Idaho, to study for 7 days with Scott Christensen.  The trip up from Tucson had a couple of snags.  My truck overheated just north of Phoenix (temp was around 110) and I had to pull off for awhile. Second day, I was taking my daily pill routine and didn't realize until an hour later that I had taken a sleeping aid by mistake!  I usually can drive 24 hours and not have any trouble staying awake... Well, 4 pullover stops later, it was finally out of my system.  I have more empathy now for my wife who gets sleepy while driving.  Now in Victor, I am on my 3rd day, Scott has lectured some and I have painted out and about the Victor Valley each day.  It is beautiful here, not as majestic as the Jackson, Wyoming side of these mountains - more rolling hills here.  I have taken lots of reference photos and will add some in a few days.  After being up here, I decided to add the Jim Wilcox Plein Air Workshop (July 23-27th) to the end of my trip.  I loved working with Jim a couple of years ago for a fall studio workshop and am looking forward to painting Jackson en plein air in the summer!  Back to painting...
