On July 4th, 2006, I embarked on a quest to become the pre-eminent American portrait painter of the 21st century. This blog chronicles that journey. With apologies to Joan Didion, I call it THE YEAR OF MAGICAL PAINTING.

Over the last 3 days with my daughter and 8 others, I walked in heat among gum trees to the southern-most point of the Australian mainland at Wilson's Promontory. I carried no music except what has remained in my memory. After walking 20 kms and arriving at the lighthouse, and staying there for two nights, I walked around the verandah as the greypink light of evening washed the sky and the sea, and Hey Mr Tamborine man was there, whispering around in my head. And now that I'm back in the city, I've been reading and re-reading the lyrics, and 5 decades into my world these lyrics keep standing, no matter how tired my feet.
