'Kalie's Roses'

I usually paint from my own photos, but I was scrolling IG and saw that the amazing artist Kalie Graves had thrown down a just-for-fun painting challenge. I was immediately drawn to the challenge of capturing the super-soft hues of her stunning roses. It was so hard, lol! And also really cool to watch as heaps of artists offer up their renditions. Check out the hashtag 'roseartchallenge' on Instagram if you're curious. 

Enjoy!

Hey! Happy Summer!

My family and I have been very busy painting our house, but I finally found some time to spend in my painting corner. 

This sweet little market scene is from Cathlamet, Washington, and I snapped this pic before a baseball game a couple of years ago. I love going to Cathlamet because our most direct route is via ferry over the Columbia River, and driving a car onto a ferry is still one of those unique experiences that my younger self could never have imagined doing so nonchalantly. Like, we're just driving onto a boat and crossing a river to go watch kids play baseball! It makes me grin every time, lol.

Enjoy!

379. Baseball Season

 

Hey, it's Spring! A whole season passed since I was here last, lol.

This is from a pic I snapped the other day on our way back home from a baseball game.

I love these nursery fields with Mt. Hood in the background.

Enjoy!

A frosty December morning in Oregon, this time overlooking the Columbia River dike lands near our little town. I love how the long rays of the sun hit those tree branches and light up the pastures beyond.
