About this blog

During the 80's I outfitted a Ford E-100 van as a traveling studio that I lived in and started taking numerous painting/photo trips around the country. I had three rules I generally stuck to: no faster than 40 to 45 mph, avoid interstates and no fast food stops. Oh yes-never pay to stay. I have been working on ways to market my art on the internet and hopefully after way too long I will be able to get back on the road again. At this point I don't even have transportation so it will take some work. My website containing a lot of my art and travel photos http://home.earthlink.net/~greenvanartusa/index.html
