Reflections Connections

8"x10"                 oil

Late one afternoon my husband and I decided to take a walk on the beach at low tide. I found the glowing cliffs and their matching reflections breathtaking. Luckily I had my camera and took a bunch of snaps to later use as reference photos in my studio. This is number one of a few different views.

Old Big Barn

5"x 7"       oil

This painting was done 'en plein air' at our local community park. I really love these old barns and have painted them from different angles many times.

Fall Colors in Briceland

5"x 7"                     oil

We were at Beginnings in Briceland, CA this weekend to attend a (possibly) once-in-a-lifetime congregation to honor pioneers of the solar industry (my husband Charlie being one of them) who had been gathered from all around the US and beyond by the organizational zeal of Jeff Spies.

It was a great party. Not only did I enjoy meeting so many fascinating, brilliant, innovative people, but I spent a lot of time with my camera trying to capture potential paintings--like this one--showing the incredible colors of fall in this beautiful valley. It had rained briefly that morning, and showers continued intermittently throughout the day, creating a mist that softened the distant colors.

Fiery Skies

6"x 8"   oil

The sky looked so beautiful the next morning after the thunderstorms that I decided before we left the lake to take some last-minute photos. We didn't know yet that fires had started and the lovely orange glow was caused by them. We were truly lucky to have escaped when we did as the roads would soon be closed and too dangerous to drive on. Later seeing online photos of the fires raging all around the lake made me realize how precious my few pictures are as the woods will never look quite the same again.

Thunderheads Building

5"x 7"    oil

My husband and I just got back from a short but way too exciting camping trip with old friends. My husband and one of our group had both been fire-fighters and when they looked at the clouds piling up over the lake they predicted thunder--and lightning--coming soon. I managed to take some photos which I painted this (and other paintings) from before the serious thunder, lightning, and rain began. We sat out the brief thunderstorm in our various campers all the time worrying about the possibility of fire from the lightning in our drought-stricken area...and, sure enough, fires did start. We left the following morning just in the nick of time as we found out when we got home that the lake was surrounded by fires and the roads were being closed!

The Road Less Traveled

5"x 7"   oil

There are two roads that can take you to 'town' which is 25 miles away. One road is the commonly used road--it's faster--and this one is very literally the road less traveled. This particular bend in the road was where I set up my easel the first time I ever painted with oils outside. There were so few cars you could actually do that. This time, I just looked through my reference photos to take me back to that peaceful country road.
