And yet another one that is in the show.  Every spring there are so many fields of yellows and golds.

View From St. Emilion

10 x 8

Here is another painting that will be in the show.  I have wanted to paint this ever since I was in St. Emilion and took a photo several years ago.  It would have been a wonderful place to spend at least a week with paints and easel.  But unfortunately we were just there for the day.

Roadside Cactus

8 x 8   Sold

Blogging has not been my passion for quite a while, but I have been painting away instead.  I am trying to get ready for our local art club's show which is being held this weekend.  This is one of the pieces that will be in the show.  I have struggled with painting cactus for quite a while, but I am pretty pleased with this.  Not sure if I should have put in more detail.  It is hard to know when to quit!

Grazing Away

There are so many black Angus around here.  I just love the way they look in the fields and grasses.

Quiet Creek

This was a beautiful spot I came across while walking a path in the Tetons.  I waited quietly to see if any wildlife would appear, but no luck.  It would have been a lovely place to spend the day.  But I had to move on.

Flashy Feathers

This fellow was just too pretty not to paint.

Path In The Tetons

14 x 11

I do apologize for not posting to this blog in so many months.  But just because I haven't been posting does not mean I haven't been painting.  I have!!  Lately I have been  painting from photos and sketches I made from a family trip a year ago to The Tetons and Yellowstone.  There is a wealth of material there, for sure.  We rented a house near Victor, Idaho that backed up to a national forest.  This path was just steps away from the house and we took many walks and hikes in the area.
