School Art Auction
There it is all framed. I love the simple reveal “floating” frame, it’s my favorite. This frame always makes a painting look finished and professional. The little painting sold for what I would sell it for, so that’s great. I also helped with the 4th grade class art project that was sold in the liveContinue reading “School Art Auction”
The struggle is real
Is there a painter out there that hasn’t struggled through the start of one painting or another? Or struggled through the middle of it to push through the awkward teenager stage? Or lost steam towards the finish and petered out? Have you felt the let down of finishing a painting, even one that turned out betterContinue reading “The struggle is real”

Auction Piece & Marathon Monday!
Done! Off to be framed today. I’m so happy with how this little painting came together, it’s simple and sweet, and I hope it will appeal to a parent or two at my daughters school art auction this Saturday. I’ll let you know how it does! I drove by the peak the other day andContinue reading “Auction Piece & Marathon Monday!”
Northeast Boise Foothills “Almost Spring”
The Boise foothills have my attention right now. They are changing from the winter wheat color to a beautiful soft green. Every day they are different. Many times during the day they have a different feel. I run out in the hills with my running group. A few days ago I took my iPhone alongContinue reading “Northeast Boise Foothills “Almost Spring””
Spring Break Day 6: Mendocino Headlands
More from Spring Break 2016. Mendocino, CA. Every spring break we make the windy drive form Ukiah to Mendocino. We play on the beach where the Big River meets the ocean, eat pizza and ice cream at Frankie’s. Ethan gets a burger and fries from MendoBurger, coolest burger place anywhere, we look in all the windowsContinue reading “Spring Break Day 6: Mendocino Headlands”

Spring Boise Foothills WIP
Saturday I started this little guy. It needs a few more passes at it. I’m going to work on my patience and spend more than a day on it. I’m donating this to my daughters school art auction, just as a little silent auction piece. So I wanted to pick a subject that would appealContinue reading “Spring Boise Foothills WIP”
San Francisco-The Presidio
Spring break (still) day 4. The trees along the coast of Northern California are incredible. I’ve always loved the shapes Monterey Cypress trees twist themselves into to reach out through the fog for every bit of sunlight they can get. I hope to take many more photographs next time we are in CA. Better yet, paintContinue reading “San Francisco-The Presidio”
