Trail Guy went to Mineral King last week. This is how it looks at this time of year. That hardly qualifies as “Friday Fun”. What does? How about Pippin in the leaves! See you tomorrow at the Three Rivers Memorial Building for the annual Holiday Bazaar, 9-4!
Indoor Mural, Day One
It is possible that painting inside a little chapel at St. Anthony’s Retreat is the most pleasant mural painting experience I’ve ever had. It is 1.3 miles from home. The room where I paint is quiet. The lighting and the temperature are steady (it is indoors!) Occasionally someone stops by to see how it is […]
Spring Walk in Three Rivers
About a week ago on a chilly afternoon with brilliant sunshine and puffy white clouds, Trail Guy and I went for a walk. Nothing much to say – just enjoy spring in Three Rivers with me.
Trail Half-Day
Yesterday I promised to show you the hike my walking buddy T and I took one morning instead of our usual ground-pounding fast walk. (This qualifies as a hike because we carried food and water.) We drove about 10 minutes into Sequoia National Park, a little ways past the entrance station in order to walk […]
Early Spring in Three Rivers
February is my favorite month around here. It is the beginning of spring, with apologies to my readers in less temperate climates, who might be a little less enthusiastic about this month. Sometimes I take a break in the middle of the day to enjoy Three Rivers during this exciting weather period. Every year I […]
The Lake as a Metaphor
Prepare yourself for a long essay today. I hope you can recover from this major bloviation by tomorrow when I post about early spring in Three Rivers. Yes, I still work . . . you can see more paintings in progress next week. But February is my favorite month, so for now I am choosing […]
Field Trip
Trail Guy and I took another field trip. If I call it that, then it sounds as if I am working. I am always working if I hand out a business card or take a photo that might be worth painting.
‘splorin’
Three Rivers is a very spread out community with the Middle Fork, South Fork, North Fork and East Forks of the Kaweah River flowing down long canyons. (Yes, I know this is four rivers; I don’t think the town namers were paying full attention). Trail Guy and I went exploring; we wanted to find a […]
Another Fun Day at the Easels
I took three photos of these paintings so you could see the improvement, or was it so I could have something to say on the blog today? The former. I always have something to say. (Have you noticed this?) And since I am outside, let us enjoy the yellow leaves. I am so thankful we […]
A Walk in Three Rivers (or Forgive Us our Trespasses)
Trail Guy and I go for walks from our house in Three Rivers. I’d say its just what old people do, but we’ve been doing this for 20 years, and we still go steep places that may or may not be considered trespassing. Here is how things looked yesterday afternoon. Then we walked home, and […]
