Want to Paint On A Mural?

Published by under Murals,Three Rivers

A year ago I painted a mural for a store in Three Rivers that had not yet opened. Sequoia Outdoor Sports had a grand vision to supply visitors to the area with the equipment they need for backpacking and camping. It is a great idea, because there are so many folks who fly over here [...]

Three Rivers Oil Paintings all called “Kaweah”

Published by under Oil Paintings,Three Rivers

A couple of oil paintings sold, so I moved them from their pages on the website to the Sold page. In the process, I realized that several paintings are not on the site that should be. Kaweah River in Fall, 10×10″, $125  They won’t load. Technology confounds me once again. Just when I think I [...]

An Afternoon and Evening at The Lake

Growing up in Tulare County we simply referred to Lake Kaweah, created by Terminus Dam, as “The Lake”. (and there is still a stupid dark spot on the lens.) Now that I’ve lived in Lemon Cove (at the base of the dam) and Three Rivers (on the rivers that flow to The Lake), I’ve learned [...]

The Exclusive Perfect Gift Boutique in Review

Published by under Events,Three Rivers

The Perfect Gift Boutique happened over the weekend. It has become a tradition for the Kaweah Artisans to hold this exclusive event on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving at the Three Rivers Arts Center. Exclusive?

Bazaar, not Bizarre

The annual Three Rivers Senior League Holiday Bazaar happened on a rainy day. This might be the third year in a row, which isn’t really bizarre. I am not complaining – the rain is always welcomed in this part of the world. Central California feeds the world, and it requires irrigation to grow all that [...]

First Saturday November is Over

Published by under Events,Three Rivers

But First Saturday Three Rivers December is coming. This is how my drawing table looked. I was working on a Wilsonia cabin. This is the painting studio/gym/storage area/Trail Guy’s workshop. Please be impressed by my red chrysanthemums – I think the leaky hose in their barrel is the cause of their gloriousness. But wait! Notice [...]
