From my sketchbook ~ Viking River Cruise from Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam

My traveling accordion sketchbook

Beer & Pretzels. Germany!

My husband and I just returned from a Viking River Cruise from Basel, Switzerland to Amsterdam. We spent 2 days in Basel before the trip and 4 days in Amsterdam at the end. It was a fabulous trip and we lucked out on the weather.

Here are just a few photos. And I hope you'll watch the video of my sketchbook, from the trip.

Georgia O'Keeffe owned a house on Ghost Ranch, and painted many paintings inspired by the gorgeous country. Here's are just a few photos and the my accordion travel journal. 

(I'll be doing a presentation on my "The Traveling Accordion Sketchbook" at SketchKkon on Friday, November 2, at 3pm in Pasadena, California. SketchKon details here.)
