As a full time professional artist since 1993, I have accumulated a pile of work. It is overwhelming at times for several reasons.
- If I am looking for something in particular, I have to sift through many other things.
- If the flat file drawers get too crowded, some of the paper folds, squishes, migrates to the back of a drawer, or otherwise gets wrecked. I hate it when that happens to an original drawing!
- Unsold things haunt and taunt me. They say, “Loser! Poser! Fake artist! No one wants your work!” They are mean, and eventually those mean words work their way into my psyche. (What’s a psyche??)
Therefore, I have made a decision. Unsold and unframed original drawings from The Cabins of Mineral King (published in 1998) have been here long enough. If a cabin owner doesn’t value original art of his cabin, why should I? I have my own preferences and favorites already jamming up my flat files (and they treat me better than those other unsolds).
Before these go into the shredder, I will show them to you and give them one last chance. I might even send out a newsletter to those who might open an email but don’t read the blog. I will tell you the approximate size and the price, and consider all offers (unless they are insulting. The drawings are already insulting me enough, and your Central California artist can only take so much abuse.)
Let’s begin, shall we? If these drawings aren’t sold by October 6, one month away, then say “Hasta la vista, baby”.

Hi Jana, it’s Lynn from Lynn and Jordan. ..last cabin on the left (yours).. is that it.. the $40 one?
Did you guys enclose the front porch?
I might want that one for the memories. .
Hope you guys are well!
XO
Hi Lynn,
How great to hear from you–We are well and hope the same for you! No, we didn’t enclose the front porch, and none of these are our cabin. The one you are seeing is shingled, rather than board and batten, and it is in Faculty Flat at the top of Barton Grade.
Good grief, Charlie Brown, who would NOT want a beautiful original drawing of their cabin?
Are you going to assemble all of the pictures in one chunk? I’d like to send out a note to our MKDA e-list and it might be easier to send them to one link rather than multiple. Just thinking out loud, here.
(Does someone already have ours? If not, it’s mine, all mine!!)
Sharon, I think your originals have been gone for a long time and I don’t remember who bought them. There are only 2 batches of the drawings, the one today and the other tomorrow. I can email the whole banana to you today, if you’d like. Thank you for the offer!!
Maybe I have it! 🙂 I’m wondering if it’s the one we “commissioned” for our T-shirts and notecards?
If you do put them all into one post, and make it available to everyone (even those who aren’t signed up for your blog) I’ll email that out. Who knows–perhaps you’ll gain a few new blog readers!
