Yes, you have seen this scene before! I love this view of the meadow by Tharp’s Log, so every time it sells, I think about how to repaint it in a little different format.
Happy Birthday, Marilyn and Sylvia!
Just wanted to say HB to 2 dear friends with whom I have shared many wonderful times and am hoping for many more!
After the mural
This may be hard to fathom, but while I was working on the mural, I also knocked out a few paintings. They will appear here one or two at a time for the next few days. The plan was to have them for a show and sale in Lodgepole, but we, The Kaweah Artisans, have […]
First Saturday, September 4, “Harvest”
Ever heard of The Cort Gallery? It is at 41881 Sierra Drive (river side of the highway) in Three Rivers. It is a little hard to see because the trees obscure the building, but it is worth the time to find. Gary Cort designed this building with rotating walls that swing open to the outside. […]
Day Twenty-One on the Mural
IT IS FINISHED! That is, it is finished if the Mural Team agrees. What a week – the hottest days and the coolest day of the entire project happened within the 6 consecutive days. Weather is not a cliche or a conversation filler – it matters immensely when working outdoors! Today was marked by the […]
Day Twenty On The Mural
Today is only in the 90s – almost sweater weather, compared to Wednesday and Thursday! One day left in my mini marathon run of mural painting – oh yeah, I called it because I am an experienced professional! (love saying that after feeling like a poser for so long) Visited with several people (CK returned […]
Day Nineteen on the Mural
Katie and Paul at Mineral King Publishing rescued the crying kitten today! I named it Franklin, but since I am over my quota of stray cats for the year and won’t be taking it home, I have no right to name it. It is very very hot (111 in Three Rivers yesterday!) but should be […]
Day Eighteen On The Mural
Progress is being made despite the fact that today was unspeakably hot and I bailed early. Today was marked by three things: the hottest day yet the saddest day – heard a kitten crying off and on the entire time the weirdest guy came by and told me Exeter has the most murals per capita […]
Day Seventeen On The Mural
Each day on this mural my energy fades around 12:30 or 1. Sometimes it even weakens just before noon, but I think that is fear of the noon siren/whistle, which can just flatten a person standing in my alley. I’m always grateful when I happen to be standing on the ground with both hands free […]
Day Sixteen On The Mural
This is the week I will finish, even if I have to get up at 5 a.m. for 6 days in a row. Momentum, momentum, momentum. Stay outta the way, I have a job to do!! That is not to say that you can’t stop by and say hello or ask a few questions. It […]
