Stick a fork in it, it’s done. (Better not – the tines will bend.) I gave this another good look. A few more branches on the left, another tree straightening, and my signature were all that it needed. Trail Guy and I wrapped it in 2 pieces of cardboard using duct tape around the […]
Mineral King Wildflowers
Because I went coastal last week, I don’t have any new stories to tell about my crazy life in Mineral King. (not truly crazy, just me exaggerating. . .) Instead, here are 10 photos of Mineral King wildflowers for you to enjoy. Do you have a favorite? Do you know any of these by different […]
Saw/Saw 3
Saw/Saw, a mini mural of Sawtooth Peak on a round saw blade, was almost finished. I fixed the camera setting, stood on the ladder to photograph it, and then realized that the trees on the bottom were crooked. Of course I only noticed this after putting the photo in an email to the customers, but […]
Saw/Saw 2
Welcome back! I knew you would be interested to know how Saw/Saw turned out. Not sure if this qualifies as a real mural or not; I think it might just be an Odd Job. Finally, I figured out what was wonky with my camera. I had been experimenting with the settings, still not quite understanding […]
Another Post About Mineral King
Perhaps I should only write about Mineral King because it is the most popular topic. Nah. . . this website is expensive, so it needs to contain things about my business. But today is Friday, and Fridays are for Mineral King posts (when I have something to show and tell). When I drove up the […]
Saw/Saw
What is “Saw/Saw”? Glad you asked! I have been commissioned to paint Sawtooth on a saw blade. Hence, saw/saw. The blade is about 4′ in diameter and is heavy metal. I lifted it onto my round table and then couldn’t figure out whether or not I should lean on the teeth to get the balance […]
Not Enough Paintings??
Each year, summer comes and Mineral King opens at the same time. This year I felt very prepared, having completed 30-40 paintings of Mineral King, many of which sold as I was working on them. Small paintings sell at the Silver City Store Resort, and that is my main place to sell during the summer. […]
Busy Time in Mineral King
July is a busy month in Mineral King. One could just sit on the porch, knitting and reading, or one could get out and see and do. I am one of the latter types, sometimes. These photos represent the activities in about a three day stretch of time in Mineral King. The next day, my […]
Mineral King: 1 Hike, 2 Canyons
Last week we took in the 2 best canyons, White Chief and Farewell, with a friend on one long mostly off-trail day. The flowers were spectacular.
Variety in Mineral King
My recent time in Mineral King was varied. Have a look: The art show and sale, “Art: Inspired by Mineral King” was a hit! Trail Guy couldn’t get out of the driveway to come help me bring the show home and I couldn’t get in with all my stuff because 2 cars parked directly at […]
