Moving Along the South Inlet

 18x12 - $175.00

I'm in a canoeing mood and painted another of a couple on the South Inlet near Racquette Lake.  We're hoping to canoe this in August, as there's a waterfall two miles upstream and it's suppose to be beautiful.  We'll have our granddaughter, Ava, with us and I hope she'll appreciate a day on the inlet, lunch included!

Canoing the Moose River

 11x14 - $145.00

I found some photos I took last summer of people canoing the lakes in the Adirondacks.  Just had a feeling I wanted to paint one of them yesterday.  Finished it this morning and now that I look at it, I want to grab the canoe and get back to those beautiful lakes!  I hope this conveys that feeling and the knowledge that those guys are jut loving it, too.

River View

 9x12 - $100.00

We just got back from four days at Yosemite National Park.  Wow!! What a place - you can almost feel John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt's presence there to this day.  At least I could, especially when we climbed almost 1,000 feet to view half dome,  Bridalview Falls and the Valley Floor.  We stayed at a campsite just outside the park, which was right beside this river.  In season the fishing is suppose to be really good, but there was still snow in parts of the campground and it hadn't been stocked yet.  Oh, well, I still sat the first afternoon and did this pastel in the quiet.

My Little Chickadee - Sold

 8x10

We've been feeding the birds near our front window and they love the sunflower seeds.  I've never seen so many small, delicate birds come to the feeder.  The cutest is the chickadee.  They will eat out of your hand, if you let them.  We also have juncos, blue jays,  nuthatches,  redpolls, and pine siskins.  And, that's only this time of year.   I love my camera - it's got a great Carl Zeiss lense and I was able to take some nice photos from my window to the feeder and trees.  This is a chickadee, hanging on to the tree next to the feeder.
