Another work in progress, a white iris this time.

Another work in progress, a white iris this time. I really like the feeling of this painting so far. It’s important that a painting have one solid idea or concept and the concept here is to paint a white flower on a white background.

Winter has arrived and brought snow, north wind, and freezing temps. There will be no more painting in my new studio til spring.

This is a 30”x40” painting of an iris - a work in progress. Yes, out in the new tiny studio. Fall is here and winter is around the corner, there’s not much time left to work in this outdoor studio! No heat or electricity out here but lovely nonetheless. It’s really meant to be a summertime studio.

I’m working on a series of florals for the Jack Meier Gallery in Houston, Texas.

One of my BIG projects (ok the only big project) this summer was building a small studio. Just big enough for painting but without the clutter.

While still in the planning stage, I found some large 100 year old windows at the local Habitat for Humanity store. These windows set the tone for the studio. My husband and I drove an hour and a half to buy some old Montana barn wood and I found the perfect barn door in Idaho. Long story.

The studio is far from the house so I can be out there undisturbed to paint. Nothing out there but tall grass, geese overhead and the occasional fox that comes by. And flying insects. Next summer on the top of my list are window screens!

I’ll show you some of my new paintings soon.

The first snow of the season arrived a couple of days ago. We bundled up and hiked to a favorite lake for lunch.

We’ve had too many hot and smoky days this summer so it’s nice to have . . . cold and sunny. We’ll take what we can get!

My cat and I enjoying the evening together - each of us doing one of our favorite things. I’m enjoying watching a storm roll in and she’s catching mice in the tall grass.

The first three pictures are really in reverse order. You can see in the third image how the lightning starts outs fairly thin and then explodes to what you see in the first image. No editing on these images.

My cat, Jackie, caught a mouse and brought it to me. She put it down, no doubt to play with it, and it blew away. Jackie was torn between going after the mouse and saving herself (coming inside with me). We both came inside. I put the lightning video in my stories.
