Yesterday Michael and I took a stroll down to the bridge to see the river. It was peaceful, not too slimy and slow for October. But wait! What is that?? Someone has been stacking rocks! Now that is a peculiar way to spend one’s time. Good thing I got the photo yesterday, because this morning […]
Happy Centennial, Kaweah P.O.!
The party was well attended. Very well attended! Here is one area – isn’t that the cutest little building with the grandest oak tree? I only brought art with Three Rivers as the subject. Almost everything Kaweah Post Office sold. The stick is where the mailbag hangs so the horse-riding mail carrier can grab it […]
Random Thursday
Today I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of work in my face. I think list might help me (you can eavesdrop): 1. Price the work for Saturday’s Kaweah Post Office Celebration 2. Remove it from the screens and pack it into boxes. 3. Sign all the newly completed 6×6″ paintings 4. Photograph them. […]
A One Week Difference
Last week in Mineral King there was only a hint of fall color. Look what happened in one week’s time!
Kaweah Post Office
This charming landmark up the North Fork of the Kaweah is probably the most photographed, drawn and painted building in the Three Rivers area! The Post Office began service in 1890, but the building itself is 100 years old this year. On October 23, there will be a 10K run and 5K walk at the […]
The Painting Factory
That would be the workshop where I paint. October may be the busiest month, or perhaps it is November. There are a handful of shows/sales coming up, along with something else big and new. This means it is imperative that I produce as much a possible. Every year I am puzzled as to how I […]
Early Autumn in Mineral King
YEA! My blog is working again! Meanwhile, up the hill, this is how things looked October 8 or thereabouts. There isn’t much color because the early leaves that were yellow blew off in the previous week’s storm, which left a light dusting of snow on West Florence Peak. Regardless, (and that IS the word, not […]
Sawtooth. . .
. . . is finished!
More Miles of Canvas
Early Timber Gap, painted on board (Hey painting owner, want a touch-up??) Timber Gap as painted this summer – yes, I know all the little canvas lines show in the photo. With these 2 Farewell Gap paintings, I can’t decide which was painted earlier. Guess I finally caught up with myself for awhile in terms […]
Miles of Canvas
According to my records, I have painted about 460 canvases and boards since beginning oil on March 8, 2006. (“About 460” is because sometimes I mis-number pieces or do something that doesn’t get into the inventory because that bookkeeping kind of thing doesn’t really float my boat.) If you follow my blog, you have probably […]
