Benno's Norway Journal

Benno was a dear friend pf mine for over 27 years. When we met in 1996 he was a retired architect living in Portland, Oregon.  Over the course of our friendship he filled countless numbers of my books with his world travels. Every year or two Benno would loan me one of his completed journals to carry around to my art shows…each was a masterpiece! They are an incredible example of what one can do with our books if so inclined! Sadly, Benno left us in 2024, and I have been heartbroken over the loss.  However, lucky for us all, he gifted me with the last journal he'd loaned me.  It is of his 2003 trip to New Zealand, and is in my shop now, or on the road with me. Ask to see it next time you visit.  If you are inspired, but fear you don’t have the skills…why not take one of the watercolor courses  at La Romita in Italy where he taught for many years!
