Like it or not, 2017 is coming in a few months. Why wouldn’t one like it? Because one may have not gotten used to 2016 yet. Why would one like it? Because a new calendar is coming.
The Bridges of Tulare County
This idea came from the show that celebrated 100 years of the National Parks. I realized that my art is heavy in the subject of bridges, because they combine the best of scenery with architecture.
There aren’t very many picturesque bridges here in the fly-over country of California, AKA Central California. Thus, some of the bridges appear more than once.
The calendar includes oil paintings, pencil drawings, and one colored pencil drawing. My favorite, the Oak Grove bridge, shows up many times. It is my calendar and I don’t have to be fair and balanced. (I hope you share my bias.)
With all the work on coloring books this year and not too much time to draw or paint, I contemplated not bothering with a calendar. Then 3 different people asked me what my calendar was going to be this year, and that’s all it took to convince me to make one.
Some of these you may have seen before, and others are new, specifically created for the calendar.
The Bridges of Tulare County, 2017 calendar – not yet ready to be ordered, but coming soon.

I’d need a much more extensive colored pencil set to do that!
Nancy, I actually did this drawing with a set of 12 as a personal challenge. I figured if I could paint with just the primaries, then I could “color” with 12. It was definitely challenging, but possible.
