… it is time to produce more paintings. These are the standard small ones that sell steadily to visitors to Three Rivers and Exeter, where my three main selling locations are, Kaweah Arts, Stem & Stone, and the Mural Gallery and Gift Shop. (Because that lemon sold so quickly at the Mural Gallery, I have […]
Loving April Around Here
How about more photos today? We can talk about the business of art some other time.
Flowers: Wild and Domestic
There is a beautiful world outside of the studio, so we can’t be using up the glorious month of April simply showing you layers of paint as it dries on the canvas. OUT AND ABOUT IN MY YARD P.S. Happy Birthday, Mom!
Some People Dislike Mondays
I’m not one of those people. The only day I don’t like is any day I have to go down the hill. But I only dislike the day while I am fixin’ to leave, because in spring, the drive is beautiful. Going down with a list of stops doesn’t make me happy, so I try […]
Painting Lots of Orange Things

The poppy painting is on the easel for consideration and contemplation. How can I make it better? Does it need to be made better? […]

Layer by Layer

The studio sat empty beneath the flowering pear tree. Pippin waited for me patiently, until he found something more interesting to investigate.
Just Photos of Three Rivers in the First Half of March
The first half of March was beautiful. Truly beautiful. Then, it rained and it snowed kind of low (but not at my elevation). So, blossoms fell off trees and flowers got battered. But, it is still green.
March in Three Rivers
I took these photos the first 4 days of the glorious month of March in Three Rivers. That’s it. Next week we will return to the business of art.
Still Clinging to February
It’s just too short. Of course, by now it is March and there are even more things to photograph. Maybe I should put those pictures on hold until August or September, when it is just ugly around here.
