A couple of oil paintings sold, so I moved them from their pages on the website to the Sold page. In the process, I realized that several paintings are not on the site that should be. Kaweah River in Fall, 10×10″, $125 They won’t load. Technology confounds me once again. Just when I think I […]
New Painting of Three Rivers
There are two subjects for painting that are always popular in Three Rivers. Here is one of my latest: The Kaweah Post Office VIII, 8×8″, $75, oil on wrapped canvas Available through Colors in Three Rivers But Wait! There’s More: Sorry. Tomorrow!
Get Busy
A friend gave me a sign for my studio that says something about getting busy. I’m very obedient and have been busy. Although I thought I had enough paintings for the upcoming Fall Shows and that I’d be drawing ahead for the Cabins of Wilsonia, I’m still painting for the busier selling season. It is […]
Only in a Small Town Like Three Rivers
Last week I experienced some things that only happen when one lives in a small town. Three Rivers in Central California qualifies as a small town, with a population around 2600, and many of whom are weekenders. (The Kaweah Post Office in this pencil drawing isn’t my post office, but it isn’t very far from […]
2012 Redbud Festival
The Redbud Festival will be Saturday and Sunday, May 12-13 at the Lions Roping Arena in Three Rivers. Saturday is 10-5, Sunday is 10-4. Redbud Festival is named after this flowering tree which grows wild in Three Rivers. It blooms in March, so the name of the Festival doesn’t correspond with nature. However, it does […]
Four Things Artists Don’t Explain
Maybe they don’t explain these things because they don’t know. Maybe they don’t explain because there are too many conflicting opinions. Maybe they don’t want new painters to know the secret information. Maybe they think that no one cares, or everybody already knows. Whatever the reason, there are many things I’ve wondered about in the […]
Superlatives!
Tulare County is a place of superlatives. Sadly, we rank highest in the nation in being fat, uneducated, diabetic, poor; we make more teenage moms, have terrible unemployment and the dirtiest air. Ready to run away screaming yet? I don’t know all the specific statistics, only that we are either the “best” at those terrible […]
Over And Out
The show, Images of Home, is over, and I’m out of these paintings. The museum tells me that was a very good response. If you feel disappointed because your heart was set on one of these, I can paint any of them over again. Won’t be exactly the same, but it will be close. (There […]
Images of Home
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 […]
Happy Centennial, Kaweah P.O.!
The party was well attended. Very well attended! Here is one area – isn’t that the cutest little building with the grandest oak tree? I only brought art with Three Rivers as the subject. Almost everything Kaweah Post Office sold. The stick is where the mailbag hangs so the horse-riding mail carrier can grab it […]
