Casualty is another C word, but not an art one. (Remember “commission” and “consignment”?) Nevertheless, here is the literal definition: “a person killed or injured in a war or accident”. The figurative definition is “a person or thing badly affected by an event or situation”. I was driving around on Sunday afternoon being a Looky-loo […]
Dreaming of a Wet Christmas?
It has been raining in Three Rivers since Friday. Today is Monday. Thought you might like to see a few pictures. Looking downstream from the Dinely Bridge, Three Rivers. (I know you know that, but it helps people searching for Three Rivers to have Three Rivers in the text. There, that is 3 mentions of […]
The Elephant
Those of you who have shared your eddress with me received an email with the subject line reading “Have you seen the elephant?” If you live in Three Rivers, you know of him. If not, here are a few paintings in which he is sort of visible on the side of Alta Peak in snow. […]

Getting Ready for another show
It is Show Season – one per weekend through December 11! This is what it looks like to prepare for a show after doing 2 already (or was it one and just feels like 2?) Packaging prints and cards, pricing everything, getting the right mix of merchandise for the crowd (anyone have a crystal ball […]
Peculiar Sights #11
In Three Rivers, it is common to watch the river. We cross over certain bridges, or take certain walks and always check out the river to see how it is changing with the seasons. When one frequents the same routes, one comes to accept the sights as normal. I’ve been walking across the Dinely Bridge […]

( 41763 Sierra Drive, on the river side of the highway just upstream from Sierra Subs) I have the privilege of sharing a little real estate with Wendy on the upcoming First […]
