30X48″ oil on canvas You know what they say about the weather in Idaho? Wait 15 minutes, it will change. I learned quickly that Idahoans like to say that.

I like their expressions in the picture with one blankly staring and brother pulling a face. I love the colorsContinue reading “Boys at the Fair”
