Baltic Adventure Part 1; Helsinki
End of the month recap in the air!
Checking in from Helsinki today!
We’re spending the next few weeks traveling between Helsinki, St. Petersburg and Tallinn. We’ve been trying to get over here to explore the Baltic region and finally found good airfare.
As is tradition (and necessary to stave off my flight anxiety…) I spent the first part of the flight working on my schedule, planning projects and preparing ideas. I began with the recap worksheet I try to do at the end of every month -downloadable here- and ended with planning works for my upcoming solo show at The Inn at Harbor Shores in St. Joseph Michigan. (With Spiderman into the Spiderverse playing in the background!)
We’ll have a few days here in Helsinki to explore, then we’re off to St. Petersburg by boat.
Travel Supplies!
Our airfare was pretty good - but it also meant no checked baggage, so I had to be very particular about what supplies came along. Pictured above are;
-Watercolor sketchbook
-Watercolor postcards
-Caran D’Ache watersoluble pastels
-Fredrix Canvas squares (cut from a roll).
-Fredrix canvas sheets rolled in my travel tube.
From the Helsinki harbor
Today’s plan is a few art museums, naps to adjust to the new time zone, dinner out by the harbor and some time to paint later on back in the hotel, but we’ll see just how much our internal clocks let us accomplish.
