Watercolors
"Delighting in Nature's Magnificence"


Hot off the Easel

Trunks Model A Fords

Trunks
22" high X 18.5" wide
Gallery Price: $1,500

While vacationing in Oregon last year, these Model A Fords were parked outside our motel one morning.
They were lined up so nicely!
I couldn't resist taking a bunch of photos
to use as reference for later studio paintings.

According to automotive history, the original car trunks were simply leather, wicker, or metal trunks that were securely attached to the back of the car.
Hence the title TRUNKS!

 

Jewels of the Desert cactus

Jewels of the Desert
13.5" high X 21.5" wide image
Gallery Price: $1,000

My husband and I were camping in southeast Utah last May, when the cacti were in their glory.
This cluster was discovered while hiking the rim of
Grand Gulch, near Hall's Crossing on Lake Powell.

Mister Tomas Tuxx

Every once in awhile I must do something just for fun! Decorating a Grande Cat for the Fort Collins Cat Rescue's Chat Amour fundraiser gave me the opportunity to try something new while helping out a worthy cause. Hope you can attend this great event
February 13, 6:00-10:00 PM at the Drake Centre
in Fort Collins.
Bid on Mr. Tuxx; he'd love to go home with you!

Justin Update:
My grandson, Justin Batchelder, continues to gain strength in his upper body & arms after his tragic accident last March that left him paralyzed from the chest down. His spirit remains high, he's incredibly determined to maximize his recovery, and he inspires all of us!
Justin passed his first college class at Metro State with flying colors; he will take 3 classes spring semester. And he hopes to have gained enough independence to live in a dorm next year. What a remarkable young man!
