Below Johnson Grade

Painted last week with the Plein Air Painters of Idaho.  Nice people to hang out with and good painters too.  While on our painting trek, we discovered places around Hagerman that I had not seen before.  This view looks at Johnson Grade, another semi-secret way to climb out of the canyon.  It is a steep gravel road and an adventure in scenic views.  While painting here we enjoyed the crystal clear water and marsh wildlife along the edges of Billingsley Creek.

Rosie's Riverside Trailer

Spent Tuesday painting with friends at Rosie's new getaway place on the Snake River.  As we wandered the property, I discovered this trailer parked on the river bank.  I had to paint it because it reminded me of the trailer that we had when our girls were little.  It brought back nice memories of camping on the North Fork of Deer Creek near Hailey.  This one is now a permanent resident on the river, and a getaway for Rosie's guests.

Italy Sketchbook




Had a wonderful time in Italy.  It was a busy trip, but I was determined to capture some of the wonderful scenes in my sketchbook.

Mom's Coffee Creamer

Funny the treasures that remind us of home.  The silver jar with the spoon on the side was on the counter at my parents home for as long as I can remember.  It is a simple reminder of Mom.  She loved anything silver and used this daily to add powdered creamer to her coffee.  Nice memento.  The painting will hang in the dining room at Crossings Winery during the month of May.

Fond Memories

Another piece that will be in the Crossings Winery Show in May!  This painting was done from a photo I took years ago when I drove my parents through North Dakota farmlands to Minnesota to visit relatives.  We stopped along the way for periodic rests and I took a lot of reference photos that got stored in a box.  Looking for inspiration for show paintings, I was happy to discover the long lost pics I had taken on that trip.  With both parents gone now, it is a gift to find fond memories of good times with Mom and Dad.

Getting Ready

My entry for Art & Soul this year is called Morning Still.  The contest is in April, but had to get my entry in early, so am posting it now so that I can direct interested venue owners to the site for a look.  This piece is large (22" x 30") and is just a bit of whimsy after breakfast.  The duck usually resides in my husband's office, but was borrowed for this breakfast occasion.  I rather like him!
