Another scene from small-town Oregon, this time, Amity.

Oh, those shadows -- they just scream at me. I'm starting to not really see 'things' anymore, just the way they're lit. Obsessed. 

Beauty everywhere.

Our small town has a parade on the 4th of July - I captured this scene this year. The weather was perfect and my boys got a lot of candy. ;)

This 50's Pontiac Star Chief was just glowing in the sun - and, of course - you know I looove to paint the American flag. 

I have many treasured parade shots from over the years --  can't wait to paint more of them!

Hey! My one hundredth small painting! Whoohoo! 

Yes, another scene from the backroads of our state - so Oregon, don't ya think? I'm diggin' it. ;)

Oh, and because this is number one hundred, this painting will come all framed up for the winning bidder, -- just like this:

Thanks for hanging out with me so far - I can't wait to see what the next one hundred will teach me. Hope you come along for the ride!

Hey all, I'm back!

Hope you had a great holiday weekend - we totally did. 

Our little gang went camping in southern Oregon - by a lake - yay! -- and spent an afternoon oohing over the redwoods in northern California. I've always wanted to see them and was not disappointed. Crazy awesome.

Our trip was busy, warm, sunny, exhausting and wonderful. 

My husband and I both like roadtrips - or even just driving around locally to places I've never seen. I love my spot in shotgun shooting the passing scenery and rural architecture. It just makes me happy. 

This sunlit scene was captured on our way home as we drove through Carlton, Oregon. Summer in a small town - love it.
