For those of you who have travelled through the canyon towns of Hungry Horse, Martin City, and Coram this will be a familiar scene. On the way to West Glacier Highway 2 winds past mile after mile of dense lodgepole pine forest with the ridges occasionally revealed through the nearly ever present cloud cover.
My country!

More homegrown inspiration. When we moved up to Lone Pine hill nearly twenty years ago we started planting trees. Here’s a look at a young Norway maple just west of the group of aspen we put in north of our house in the area we loving refer to as “the dog yard.”
After a couple dozen recent 12x12 paintings I’m starting to get comfortable with such a small canvas!

We had a late snow storm earlier this month. I started this sketch just as the last of the snow melted. The painting turned out to be subtle and almost monochromatic. Very uncharacteristic for me.
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! I’m simply trying to live life with my eyes open. You never know what you’ll see.
