Hidden Gardens 5, 10×8″, $90 Well, why not? We were on the subject of flowers this week and I haven’t shown you all the Hidden Gardens Tour paintings yet. This is one of the 3 remaining in my possession. I’m thinking about putting them for auction on eBay, seeing if I can raise a little […]
WALKING AGAIN!
Excuse me. Didn’t mean to shout at you with that title. Okay, pants-on-fire, I DID mean to shout! I’m happy!! After receiving a boatload of stuff from a podiatrist, along with the reassurance that walking won’t permanently injure my foot, I’m back on the trail. A little huffy-puffy, but I can work back into it. […]

Sold “One ton tomata, I ate a one ton tomata, one ton tomata, I ate a one ton tomaaaa- ta.” (Hint – it’s a song that you hear while eating chips and salsa) Okay, that’s it, that’s all for these daily painting posts. Too confining to my smart-alecky, free-spirited, non-routine-loving self.

Sunny Sequoia IXX, 8×8″, oil on wrapped canvas, $75 When I belonged to the Colored Pencil Society of America, there was a tradition.

Oh so much better to paint in my own style. Can you just feel the relief? This is the 7th painting in my promised Daily Painting series. I could keep going. It is certainly an easy way to post to my blog. Are you asleep? Bored? Wishing I’d get off this train of thought?

Mineral King, 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $50 Waking up in the morning has never been easy for me. Some people wake up energized and ready to go; I am not one of them. My Oh-So-Wise-Dad used to say that when he woke up in the morning, he’d lie there and try to die. Failing […]

6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $50 Farewell Gap is an unusually symmetrical mountain pass. The elevation is somewhere in the 10,000′ range, and the trail to get there is 6-1/2 miles long, very well graded, with fabulous flowers. I love that hike. (Never mind. Stupid plantar fasciitis.) This year I am lollygagging about the cabin, […]

Mineral King, 6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $50 The Crowley family cabin with Farewell Gap in the background may be the most photographed scene in Mineral King. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve drawn and painted it. Each time I take the picture, I’m sure it is the most beautiful it has ever […]
