Hidden Gardens 5, 10×8″, $90 Well, why not? We were on the subject of flowers this week and I haven’t shown you all the Hidden Gardens Tour paintings yet. This is one of the 3 remaining in my possession. I’m thinking about putting them for auction on eBay, seeing if I can raise a little […]

The show continues at the Tulare Historical Museum. The address is 444 W. Tulare Street and the phone # is 559-686-2074. When the curator and I were discussing titles, one of my suggestions was “It Ain’t All Smog and Welfare”. She-Of-Good-Sense laughed out loud and then rejected that idea. Glad she has a sense of humor […]

The show continues at the Tulare Historical Museum. The address is 444 W. Tulare Street and the phone # is 559-686-2074. I’d advise calling for their days and hours because their website is looking a bit wacky at the time of this posting. Although it is a museum with an entry fee, you DO NOT […]
Lovely diversion
The wage-earning husband found himself with the afternoon off. The self-employed artist wife has a hard time saying no to fun interruptions when there are no pressing deadlines. We took a bikeride. We stopped on the bridge. Looking upstream, the eagle-eyed husband noticed a raft coming; see it? Looks downright scary to me! We continued […]

Here are some of my usual scenes and thoughts (although I’ve been told my thoughts are rather unusual, and occasionally downright weird.) The beautiful wooden garage doors, the arched gate and the odd coincidence of star jasmine […]

And a Third Walk to Remember
Spring is the height of beauty, stunning views, super-saturated color, and altogether inspiring scenes in Three Rivers. When it is taking place, it seems to be the only season that counts. When it is over and I still want to paint it, it feels fake, out of place, inauthentic. That is all the more reason […]
Another Walk to Remember
What would I do without my little Canon Elph camera?? It is a walking California artist’s dream gadget! Take a look at another gorgeous spring walk in Three Rivers.
A Walk To Remember
Sometimes I can’t believe how lucky I am to live in such a gorgeous place as Three Rivers. As a California artist, how could I possibly want any better location??
