My obsession with doors

Once in awhile I like to dabble in photography. This photo of the temple doors is part of my obsession with doors. "Knock and it shall be opened, seek and ye shall find."   Such beautiful craftsmanship went into the making of this door.

This weathered old door I found in the Royal City in China. I'm not sure how old this door is but it caught my eye because of the texture of the crackled paint and the sun drenched red color.

For all you nature lovers enjoy a walk through the trees. Had a great time painting this. It reminds me of the trip we took above Park City, Utah last year.   Nature- Love, Oil Painting- Love,  Art- Love.

The upper Stillwater is a fabulous place to kayak, for great views of the mountains and to see wildlife of every kind. We had a great time with friends the day I snapped this photo reference. We were sitting on the bank having our lunch and taking it all in. When I finished this painting the other day it made me homesick for Montana. I can't wait for Summer so we can visit again. Next time, I will paint the kayaks.

Purple Sage

I have been very busy painting lately and this one is fresh off the easel. The Sage brush was beautiful on the mountain side just above the Heber Valley.
