Next Three

 Our local artist's guild is doing it's best - during these times.  As you can imagine, like any small business, Covid 19 really put a damper on ART activities and events in towns and cities.  Ours is not alone.  Each month, I am happy to be able to enter a show and display my art.  (It's important to keep yourself out there.)  These are the three that I am entering in a show titled "High Peaks" this next month.  Interesting that you don't have to adhere to the theme.  That's good, because I suck at painting 'peaks' and mountains.  Animals it is - for me!

Your paintings have personalities of their own. I expected the armadillo would be the one I like best, but it is the big horn sheep study. I guess there's a fascination with how they stand on those steep mountain sides appearing to not have a care in the world. That kind of freedom is liberating to view in art.

Thank you - we saw some Bighorn's right off the road trying to navigate a hill that had NO ROCKS near the reservoir last week. The little ones and the big ones, so precariously balanced on this sandy hill - if one misstep, doomsday by the amount of cars and trucks traveling down that highway at the time. I think they made it, but it was like their own little practice gymnasium. Amazing animals. The ones in this study are from a herd that is off another highway we take to town. Sometimes I see photos of them standing in the road..facing off with one another.

Art Still GOING On

(I've been really neglectful of this space. Yikes!)   This summer we planted TREES on our property - spent so much time caring for them,...
