"Repose" Monotype on Board 41'x46"

One of the new paintings I've been working on for my show at Tumalo Art co. in Bend Oregon. Opening reception is this Friday, Nov. 6th at 5pm

Plein Air

This is such a beautiful place in the Autumn. I've been here to pick huckleberries and take photos but I have never painted here. It was such a beautiful morning. I painted a little then would take a break and sit, eat huckleberries, listen to the creek and soak up the sun. The painting still has a lot of work yet but it's not really about the finished product but the experience of being in such a beautiful place and being completely present. I'm hoping to hold on to that peace for a while.

under the ponderosas: Reading, writing, 'rithmetic

One of the blogs I follow is my sister-n-law's. She is an amazing writer and values the written word before all else. I am in awe of her talent. I love this post as I think it says so much about the sad state of art in our schools. I have such a fear that my nephews natural creativity will be replaced by societies rigid conformity. Luckily, I don't think his Mother will let that happen.
