California Calling Painting Extravaganza: Outside of Sedona - and Heading Home
http://californiacallingpaintingextravaganza.blogspot.com/2014/03/outside-of-sedona-and-heading-home.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Outside of Sedona - and Heading Home. Oil on canvas, 10x10. Yes, I am headed home. Home! While part of me is sad that this trip is over, more of me is just missing home so deeply, I can taste it. Missing my husband, missing our dogs, missing my friends, missing my house and my studio and my beautiful little town. But I have had adventures, and wonderful pleasures, and I have seen amazing things and met wonderful, fascinating people. It has been the trip of a lifetime. And huge, o...

California Calling Painting Extravaganza: Near Salt River Canyon
http://californiacallingpaintingextravaganza.blogspot.com/2014/03/near-salt-river-canyon.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Near Salt River Canyon. Near Salt River Canyon. Oil on canvas, 10x10. I left Tubac on Monday morning, a day later than I'd hoped. The delay came for an unusual reason. It rained! Dad and Paula say that a full day of rain is a very strange occurrence in Tubac - and it did rain, steadily and heavily - for the entire day. Mostly, the rain soaked into the ground; the river that runs through town also filled up a little. And the rain brought an incredible clarity to the sky, as well.

California Calling Painting Extravaganza: Rio Grande, Near Taos
http://californiacallingpaintingextravaganza.blogspot.com/2014/03/rio-grande-near-taos.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Rio Grande, Near Taos. Rio Grande Near Taos. Oil on canvas, 10x10. I've spent the past couple days in and around Santa Fe and Taos, and I have seen beautiful, amazing things. The land is lovely here, with colors that are bright and subtle, large and small, strong and gentle all at the same time. Maybe it's the time of year, or maybe it's how it is all the time in New Mexico. I came through this area, but from the north. In the afternoon, I headed up toward Taos. It is a nice ...

California Calling Painting Extravaganza: Tusayan Field
http://californiacallingpaintingextravaganza.blogspot.com/2014/03/tusayan-field.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. Oil on canvas, 6x12. After painting the amazing scenes of the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley, it was reassuring and comfortable and fun to paint a small field at the side of the road in Tusayan, Arizona. As you all know by now, I am a sucker for the pale yellow grass that grows around here at certain elevations. I captured the pale color of the grass in this painting, but can't quite make that pale nearly white yellow come through on the computer. But it's close. Just outside o...

California Calling Painting Extravaganza: January 2014
http://californiacallingpaintingextravaganza.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 27, 2014. A Big Fat Zerio in Indio. Oil on canvas, 10x10. Argh I had such high hopes for the show in Indio, California. And the reality dashed them all. Not one painting sold. Not. One. It was the first show of the season! I have wonderful new work! It was in California! She has a sewing machine in there, too. She'll be at the show in Tubac, along with Charlene, who was beside Judy and directly across from me. Above are some of the glass pieces Charlene made. Here's the view of the mounta...

California Calling Painting Extravaganza: February 2014
http://californiacallingpaintingextravaganza.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Oil on canvas, 10x10. On Saturday, I painted at 8,000 feet! I could feel it, too. I wasn't dizzy (well, no dizzier than usual), but it took effort to get a full, deep breath. And it felt like I was up high. The trees were different - pines and birches. The sun burned me quickly through the thin air. The wind was very cold, though the day was warm. Here's my painting in the landscape. I really WAS up that high! A pretty sight on the way. Dog of the Day. Oil on canvas, 18x18.
