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

"Purple Sage" 9 X 12 oil on board

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. 

Montana Landcape 3

4" X 5" oil miniature Montana Landscape 3

Three Pears

This is a 4" X 5" oil Painting I finished the other day. I loved playing with and enhancing the colors that were barely there in the real life pears that I used for inspiration.
Every oil painter has to paint pears once in their life. Right?

Matting Rip Off!

For one of my assignments for my students I asked them to paint some architecture. Here is my painting. Hope to get it matted soon. I am really frustrated on how expensive it is to mat a painting. If I was only better at it. Maybe I should learn to paint to standard sizes. Then I could buy pre-cut mats. $33 for this small painting. Do you think I am getting ripped off?
It's a good thing I have the frame already.

Well, you can see how hard it is to make a living being an artist.
