There is a section of the Mineral King trail returning from Monarch Lakes that always catches my eye. It has some gnarly looking junipers, and I photograph it over and over. I painted it once. Turned out pretty well, sold quickly. Monarch Trail, oil on wrapped canvas, size forgotten, painted in 2008 Because I […]
Same County, Different Bridge
In February, I told you of my drawing of the Clover Creek Bridge up in Sequoia National Park and a man who saw it and contacted me. (That post will open in another window if you click here.) The man, named Todd, had googled “pencil drawing of a cabin” and found my site. On my site […]
NEW AND IMPROVED Oak Grove Bridge

Distracting Surroundings

Mineral King on the Easels
Fridays are sort of for Mineral King on this Central California artist’s blog. Can’t get there right now, although people did drive all the way to the valley a week or 2 ago. However, I have many photos, and Mineral King is probably the heaviest category. As a studio artist, I rely on photos. They […]
