Business in the Mountains

The Silver City Store sold two Mineral King oil paintings on opening weekend; a few days later they sold a sequoia tree painted on a wood panel.

Luckily for a future customer, I had one more ready to go. So, on the way up the hill last week, we stopped by to deliver it. While there, I took a few more interior photos. The store is good to me*, and I happily advertise for them.

This year I have brought a few pencil reproduction prints of appropriate subjects. It’s been awhile since those were on public view.
Sawtooth on the sawblade is not for sale.
I designed this logo several decades ago and they are still using it. One of the original mugs (doesn’t say “Mountain Resort”) is on my drawing table with colored pencils in it.
Terrible light, but I wanted to show you the no-longer-functional gas pump and the snow outside.

There was quite a bit of snow in Mineral King when we arrived. Tomorrow’s post will be about that, accelerated to Thursday, because there are too many photos of Mineral King to just confine the topic to Friday’s post.

*Not the actual store, but you know what I mean.

  1. Terrific displays. Didn’t know you designed that lasting logo for Silver City. Good job! Wonderful to still have snow at MK. Welcome back to paradise. Fingers crossed for NO wildfires and no road washouts this year.

    • Thank you, Laurie! The store is packed with very cool souvenirs this year, and I’m with you about wildfires and washouts.

  2. How lovely you have a mutually beneficial relationship with this store! The displays are so visually appealing, too!

    • Elisabeth, I appreciate hearing that from a neutral party because I think the way my art gets displayed is a little bit tacky! Not that I mind, being a slightly tacky person myself.
