This looked like a full day of painting ahead. If I could knock these out, it would be a productive day.
Let’s go! I knocked out the wildflowers on the 8×10” Sawtooth painting first.
Actually, this didn’t look too hard. It needed some fencing and cows and of course, wildflowers, which are just colored dots in this type of painting. And it is so small here on the computer that you can’t see many of those details. Trust me. It looks better in person. Duh.
Easy peasy. Let’s go to the beach next. Wow, this one went quickly. Finishing with details is the best part of painting.
I took a brief break to scan a dry painting in the studio and was just slayed by the perfection of these lemon geraniums blooming by the studio and flowing over the wall. You should smell these!
Finally, I tackled this trail in Mineral King on a 8×8” canvas. It isn’t finished, but I signed it because I was able to scratch my name into the wet paint.
Finished all three plus an additional 8×8”, AND met with the customer about designing her ranch map. I need a week of these productive days, quickety quick before it gets too hot to paint.

I adore all of these! And again – I find it absolutely fascinating to see the progression in your paintings. Watching them come to life is a real treat.
Elisabeth, it is fun to see them shape up, especially because every time I start a painting I wonder if it will turn out well or if it will end up looking like a dog’s breakfast.
So beautiful! You accomplished a lot!
Thanks, Michelle! I love days like that. Other days, I work all day and feel as if there is nothing to show for it. Completion rather than perfection really floats my boat, so I have to really discipline myself to not rush through jobs.
Love the sawtooth!
Kathy, I’m guessing it is the wildflowers that cause you to love the Sawtooth!
