My favorite bridge is currently my favorite subject for oil painting. (Brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Dept.) The Oak Grove Bridge crosses the East Fork of the Kaweah River, 6.5 miles up the Mineral King Road, out of Three Rivers, in Tulare County, California. Some governmental agency has declared it to be […]
Stocking Stuffer Boutique First Saturday Three Rivers
Saturday, December 5, 2015, is what is called “First Saturday” in Three Rivers. I know, thanks, Captain Obvious. Every first Saturday of the month, special things happen at various businesses and artist studios in Three Rivers. Tomorrow, the Kaweah Artisans will hold a little show and sale called the “Stocking Stuffer Boutique”. It will be at […]
More Kaweah Post Office Oil Paintings
One of my always-have-in-inventory oil painting subjects is the Kaweah Post Office. I had two earlier this fall; one was auctioned on eBay to raise money for the Kaweah Post Office, the second was sold, splitting the profits with the Post Office. A third painting was created as an incentive for a generous man to […]
Perfect Gift Wrap
It’s a wrap. The Perfect Gift Boutique was well attended. There were so many visitors to Three Rivers because of Thanksgiving. There were so many visitors to the Perfect Gift Boutique because they couldn’t get into Sequoia – cars were backed up for a mile or 2, some only to be turned around at the […]
Perfect Gift Boutique coming Friday and Saturday
What are you doing, California Artist? I mean Central California Artist? I’m pretending to be a sign painter again. Why? There is a show coming soon for the Kaweah Artisans. Who? A loosely formed group of craftswomen, men and artists who are sort of based within the Kaweah River area. Ka-what? “Kah-WEEE-uh” is the name […]
Little Post for Little Event
Two miles from home in our little town of Three Rivers, a little art show in a little dining room of a little restaurant and a little space to show a little art on a nice fall day. (A long incomplete sentence!) This is the view behind the place where the show was. In the […]
Holiday Bazaar at Three Rivers Memorial Building
Another upcoming event for this Central California Artist. November is my busiest month of the year! Who would have guessed this? The Senior League Holiday Bazaar has been happening for many years at the local Veterans Memorial Building. It used to seem podunk to me, and now I appreciate it as a great low-key event […]
Hidden in the Leaves
Hidden in the Leaves is the title of a show sponsored by the Arts Alliance of Three Rivers. At last count there were 17 Three Rivers artists participating. The show hangs in the dining room of Sierra Subs, along the highway in Three Rivers just before you see the Shell gas sign. (Easier to spot than […]
Three Rivers is Bear Country
One afternoon I was painting in the workshop. Trail Guy stopped his work on the house to rest a bit. What am I working on? Another Kaweah Post Office, because it is my policy to always have one ready to go. Pomegranates because they are beautiful to paint and sell well. Trail Guy reported a […]
Kaweah Post Offices
The eBay painting went to a very happy lady! Chuck’s painting progressed quickly. This is a photograph of it while it was drying. Hang on, Chuck, it’s coming soon! My Favorite Customer bought this painting and I split the sale with the Kaweah Post Office fund. Several friends gave cash toward the project. Some of […]
