Today I begin refreshing the largest Mineral King mural in Exeter (North of Pine, West side of E Street, South side of Capella Coffee) Tomorrow I’ll show you today’s work on the mural. Meanwhile, you can enjoy some photos of a recent half-day field trip. Trail Guy and I went to Giant Forest in Sequoia […]
Field Trip up the Mineral King Road
One day while I was painting the Oak Grove Bridge, Trail Guy said he wanted to drive up the Mineral King Road and see how things looked. I put down my brushes and put on my boots.
Time Off to Take in the Views
This week I will post several different subjects, all unrelated to art work. These could be titled “Sources of Inspiration”, although I don’t know if they will result in paintings or drawings. Subject #1 Trail Guy took the Botmobile to a secret location with a great view of the High Sierra. The mountain range is […]
Long Fast Walk
One last post not about art or Mineral King. We’ll resume our normal broadcasting schedule topics tomorrow. There are many ways to participate in the multiple events of the Lake Tahoe Marathon weekend; walking partner T and I chose to walk the 1/2 marathon on Sunday, October 9. We’ve been planning and training for awhile. […]
More Road Trip, Part Six
Yes, I know this isn’t about art or Mineral King. I hope you enjoy it anyway!
Last Day There, Part Five
Yesterday I walked the Lake Tahoe 1/2 Marathon. I’ll tell you about that after I finish going on and on and on about our very long road trip. Today is more about Sandpoint. These could all be considered sources of inspiration, because an artist needs to be continually on the lookout for subject matter and […]
There, Part Four
Another personal post not about art or Mineral King. We took a bike ride into Sandpoint. Turned out to be about 11 miles round trip. Not bad for the first time on a bike in several years. Probably the last time on a bike for several weeks. Ow. There were many berries. Our friend told […]
There, Part Three
The long way was behind us once we reached Sandpoint. This was the view from the porch of the Very Very Nice House where we stayed, actually located in Dover, just three miles north of Sandpoint. Since I am in training for the Lake Tahoe 1/2 Marathon (October 9!!), I took a fast walk around […]
Long Way There, Part Two
Another entirely personal post, not about art or Mineral King; however, several of the photos shown could possibly become oil paintings or pencil drawings. The third day of the very long road trip took us from Salem to Seattle. Seattle has a traffic problem. There is also a signage problem south of Tacoma – the […]
Long Way There
This post will be entirely personal, so feel free to skip it if you only come for art or Mineral King. Did you know that Israel is 236 miles from north to south? Recently, Trail Guy and I drove the equivalent of that distance 11 times over, and we only saw parts of 5 of […]
