I think that “take two” is movie talk. Since I only see a movie in a theater about once every two or three years, this is only hearsay. But we are here today to have a look at easel time, because I really did plant my feet in front of the easel. Several patient people […]
Easel Time
Have you noticed that the word “easel” is pretty close to the word “easy”? It’s merely a word illusion. Nothing easy about being at an easel. This fact, combined with April as the most beautiful month in Three Rivers, has made it even less easy to plant my feet in front of the easel recently. […]
More Solds
“Solds”? Is this really a noun? It is my world. Clearly the 6×18″ size is hot right now. Good thing I just ordered more canvases that size. I have several new ideas to paint in that format, so stay tuned.
More New Oil Paintings
All those paintings of Mineral King over the past several months erased the subject of Three Rivers from my mind. When I got reminded that I hadn’t yet reserved my booth for the Redbud Festival, I also remembered that people might want to see some Three Rivers subjects during that little show.
Starting Over Again With Sawtooth

How does one be productive while waiting but not be so involved that a visitor/customer/guest feels like an interruption? It is a mindset. I remind myself that on THIS day, I am […]
8 Recent Happenings
Today there are many topics to address, so we will have a long list. I went away with my sisters and our Mom for a family funeral. Supposed to be a sad time, but it was surprisingly fun. Tomorrow and Sunday is the South Valley ARTists’ Studio Tour. Will I see you there? You can […]
Kaweah Post Office Oil Paintings 2
Thank you for returning to see the next set of seven Kaweah Post Office oil paintings. Shall we commence our tour of the growth of my painting skills through the capitalistic exploitation of an innocent elderly landmark? (That would have cracked my Dad up – is anyone else out there laughing along?) And thus we […]
Kaweah Post Office Oil Paintings
Every time an oil painting of the Kaweah Post Office sells, I paint it again. That’s a lot of oil paintings of the Kaweah Post Office. But wait! There’s more! Come back tomorrow and see the second set of seven.
About the Kaweah Post Office
The Kaweah Post Office is about 3 miles up North Fork Drive in Three Rivers, California. For awhile it was known as the smallest operating post office in the USA. Now it is operated in a weird little way; the woman who owns the building goes to the Three Rivers Post Office to collect the […]
