Many of the Wilsonia cabins were difficult to see because cedar trees were in the way. This was one of those cabins. No problema (a little Spanish lingo for you). I just drew it from the back side. It is in the book The Cabins of Wilsonia, available for $80 on this link: The Cabins of Wilsonia
Wilsonia Cabin Porch Drawing
Porches, decks, balconies. . . all those outdoor living spaces are very important to all cabins, including Wilsonia cabins. This one was very charming and it was for sale during the project. A friend bought the cabin, so her daughter secretly bought the drawing for her. Then, the mom secretly bought the drawing of her daughter’s cabin for her! […]
Sequoia Trees and Navel Oranges
Sequoia trees and navel oranges are specialties of Central California, right here in Tulare County where I live and work as an artist (and now as an editor too). So, I paint Sequoia trees and navel oranges. Often. When these are dry, I’ll scan them and put them on my website for sale. Maybe I’ll […]
More Poppy Peeping
This poppy peeping trip was up North Fork Drive out of Three Rivers. It was with one friend in a Mustang convertible that her Mom bought on her 88th Christmas. (No, my friend isn’t 88 – it was her Mom who was 88). It was a great top-down day, and sometimes I just stood on […]
Finishing the murals
Did you think I was going to leave you hanging as to how the Tanzania mural looked? Customer called to say the cape buffalo needed about 1/2 hour of work. I was relieved to hear from him, because my final day working on them was without his expertise. I’ve never seen those animals, except in […]
Poppy Peeping
When the poppies are out, there is no time to be wasted! Get out and see them, now! 2008 was a spectacular poppy year for all the foothills in Central California, and it was a source of great inspiration to this Central California artist. 2016 is looking almost as good. A few friends and I […]
Spring in Three Rivers at Kaweah Lake
This is my favorite photo of the whole day. This is one of 3 types of lupine we saw at Kaweah Lake. This is another type – bush lupine. Some sort of clover was very abundant and quite fragrant. This road made me wonder how Three Rivers might be today had Terminus Dam not been […]
Spring in Three Rivers
Trail Guy and I had a road trip planned, although it pains me to leave Three Rivers in spring. However, life interfered, and being prudent, flexible and spontaneous (don’t hurt yourself laughing), we decided to spend spring here in Three Rivers. Have a look at an excursion to Kaweah Lake. That is Alta Peak in the […]
Walking in Three Rivers
I love to go walking in Three Rivers, particularly in February, my favorite month for weather. It is really green this year. Muddy too. Thank you God, for rain!! I got all excited about this beautiful moss. My sister from Oregon looked at me as if I were loopy. Moss AND lichen, oh my. Green. GREEN! […]
Wilsonia Cabin Confusion
A Wilsonia cabin that sits on a corner got me confused. It looks like this as seen from one lane: And this is how it looks when you go around the corner: Are you confused? It took me awhile to figure out this is the same cabin. My excuse is that I had to learn […]
