The annual Senior League Holiday Bazaar will take place on Saturday, November 15 at the Three Rivers Memorial Building from 9-4. Maybe. The marquee in front of the Memorial Building says 10-4. This means that if you come at 9, you’ll get first chance at all the best stuff! This is how it looked on […]
Home Improvement
A dear friend manages vacation rentals. A few years ago, she was asked to take on a home that needed a ton of loving care, and she had to provide it on not just a shoestring, but a frayed shoestring. (This means she had almost a zero budget.) Because we love to do projects together, […]
A Central California Artist Paints Her World
I live in Three Rivers so sometimes I actually paint the Kaweah River. This summer it is running low, but as a studio artist, I work from photos, and with 22,000 on my computer, there are some choices outside of going to the river and taking a photo as it looks during this very dry […]
Happy Customer
Customer? Client? How about a long time friend who commissioned me to paint for her? Commissioner? Never mind. I delivered “Spring In Three Rivers” to my friend and hung it on the wall where she had planned for it to go. We looked at the pictures around it and knew it wasn’t the best combination. […]
Spring in Three Rivers is a Beautiful Memory
Is that a funny title for a post during the hot time of year? I love spring. It isn’t hot. This painting in progress reminds me of the beautiful season. I’m juicing up (exaggerating) the colors a bit and it is fun. I love dabbing on little specks of different shades of pink. These redbud […]
Spring in Three Rivers Oil Painting Commission
Spring in Three Rivers just might be an appropriate title, although there is little evidence of any river, much less three of them in this picture. But, we are in a canyon that follows the North Fork of the Kaweah, and the presence of sycamore trees indicates a source of water near by. (Can you […]
Another Oil Painting Commission
If you’ve known me for awhile, you may have heard me say that it is all my friends and relatives who buy my work because they feel sorry for me. Another friend used to tell me this: “If your friends and family won’t do business with you, who will?” A long time friend asked me […]
And More Redbud Festival
It got busy at the Redbud Festival in Three Rivers at the Memorial Building this year. As usual, I saw a ton of people I knew, but I also got to meet new people. The standout to me was meeting Earl from BLOWING ROCK NORTH CAROLINA!! Really! I am that excited! That is where my […]
Redbud Festival Continued
Yesterday I left you contemplating the word “dumb”. Today we will continue our Redbud Festival Tour. Check out the primary colors. The sign being carried by the man says “Slow! Event Ahead”. So glad it used punctuation, because I’d hate to participate in a Slow Event. I think this pottery comes to the Redbud Festival […]
Redbud Festival 2014 in Photos
Redbud Festival in Three Rivers was on a new weekend and in a new location. It was walking distance from home for me! Bye-bye, studio, I have to work somewhere else today. Does your commute look like this? It is WONDERFUL to walk to work. Most exhibitors parked at the Presbyterian Church. Me? I took […]
