Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and often finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

"Purple and Gold" Landscape Daily Painting

Original oil painting, 8"x10"

Sitting above our town is this magnificent mountain, named Clifty. I'm frequently amazed at how much it changes through the seasons and with the evening light.

My favorite time is when the sun just catches the top ridge of snow at sundown to highlight it in gold or pink. I love the way it contrasts with the blue violet colors in the snow and the mountain.
