First snow can't stop the art

Bonnie Peterson invites us all to her house in Michigan for a weekend of wine-tasting and cross-country skiing. We wish.  This view from her (to-die-for) studio is toward a ski trail in a forest just a quarter-mile from Michigan Tech and the city of Houghton.

Ruyell Ho's daughter Amanda Ross-Ho is participating this week in Picturing the Studio at SAIC's Sullivan Galleries, 33 S.
