The annual Three Rivers Senior League Holiday Bazaar happened on a rainy day. This might be the third year in a row, which isn’t really bizarre. I am not complaining – the rain is always welcomed in this part of the world. Central California feeds the world, and it requires irrigation to grow all that […]
Mineral King in Fall, Part 4
I wonder if I can keep going into December with this? Don’t tempt me – I might have to change my blog description from a California Artist to an Autumnal Photographer. Mineral King Multi-colored Slope (Do you know where this is?) Farewell Gap with Yellow Foreground (my titles are wearing out!) Red Firs and Yellow […]
Holiday Bazaar
This used to be called the “Senior League Bazaar”. . . I was walking past the Three Rivers Memorial Building and on the marquee it said 17 HOLIDAY BAZAAR. This means it is happening on Saturday, November 17. The hours are 9-4. You are invited! There is no entry fee. This is a pleasant gathering […]
Interview with Mariya
A very old friend of mine is hosting an exchange student from Russia. Oops. My friend is younger than I am. We’ve been friends since I was in 3rd grade and she was in 1st grade. . . that’s what I mean by very old friend, not that she is ancient! Mariya would like to […]
Daily Paintworks
What means this?? (That’s how my niece asked for more information when she was three, and I thought it was so cute that I’ve been saying for 20 years since.) Daily Paintworks is a wonderful online gallery featuring new paintings from its members every single day. I’ve followed it for a few years, and learned about […]
Mineral King in Fall, Part 3
Since I took 273 photos of that weekend of Fall Color in Mineral King, I can keep going with this series for awhile. Tell me if you are sick of it! (or I can look at the visitation numbers to the blog and figure it out – I’m clever like that.) Nature Trail Gold Farewell […]
Art History
I have art history. A piece of it arrived in the mail last week. Bob, I’m forever grateful. You were one of my greatest mentors, teachers, encouragers and friends throughout my youth. Blessings on you, dear friend.
A Blogger, an Artist and a Business Person
That’s me – three-in-one, three for the price of one, me in triplicate, a human triptych. Sometimes it is so fun just to show you what I am doing, to write, to be a goofball, to philosophize, and to ramble. Then, I remember that I am trying to earn a living here, and that perhaps […]
Sawtooth on a Cupboard Door?
Usually at a garage sale I am overtaken by the desire to go home, fill a box with stuff, and bring it back, sneak it onto a table, and tiptoe away. Stuff stresses me out. Too much stuff makes me twitch, mumble to myself, and randomly toss objects into the trash or a give-away barrel. […]
First Saturday November is Over
But First Saturday Three Rivers December is coming. This is how my drawing table looked. I was working on a Wilsonia cabin. This is the painting studio/gym/storage area/Trail Guy’s workshop. Please be impressed by my red chrysanthemums – I think the leaky hose in their barrel is the cause of their gloriousness. But wait! Notice […]
