Sun Valley

The third painting is still a work in progress but I like how the little round bushes look, so I included it. I’ve been messing around with colors on it.

Rimrock Reserve

Flooded
11X14 oil on canvas The Boise River is so high right now that it has flooded parts of the greenbelt and some areas downriver from where I live. I stood on a bridge to paint this one. I got a bunch of funny comments. Paintings don’t look like much in the beginning stages, at leastContinue reading “Flooded”
