Hey Bud!

PAAC is currently in Grand Lake painting this week - I'm getting out with them as the weather allows, but also busy preparing for ASLD Summer Art Market in 2 weeks.

I have lots of new work; "bin" priced stuff at $25-$50, original cards for under $10 and many pastels and several large acrylic and oils. More work than I can fit in the booth as usual.

This year I'm sharing a booth with my friend Robyn. Check out her stuff here. She is accomplished in a variety of mediums and will be showing her beautiful animal portraits, representational still life and landscape oil paintings ... and fun contemporary acrylic pours. Basically, what I don't do - she does. Between the two of us, it's like having 7 different styles. Ha! Please stop by to say hello.

Booth #22

Spring is a little late this year, it's supposed to snow in a couple of days up here at 8,600 feet. The aspen have barely budded out and the mountain peaks look like February. Trail Ridge is not open this weekend. Mount Baldy is covered in white and peeking behind these trees that I sketched from Grand Lake Lodge this morning.

I've never noticed that when aspen trees bud out, the base is bright red and the leaves electric green, I'm going to watch them this week and see how fast they open.
I mean, I always liked being outside as a kid - probably because our parents said "go outside and play and don't come home until it's dark". It was the 70's. I was sitting outside drawing back when I was in single digits. Some things never change. So, I guess I'll credit my mom for my love of nature - thanks Mom.
