Quaken Aspens

Quaken Aspens #1

I always go back to my old favorites - quaken aspen trees.

Another little ditty playing with the Hot Press Paper and water color pencils. I could help the folks unbend a little - anyway, a memory along the Seine River.

A scene from central Utah.
Haven't used Hot Press paper for years until a good friend gave me a few sheets
and I have been experimenting all summer.

Plowed Fields #3

Plowed Fields #3
Acrylic

Another memory of the grain harvest with a bit more realism. Tried to simplify images again to contrast with the sweep of the straw waiting to be bailed. I swore I never wanted to leave the farm, but my father said it was just the scenery I was in love with, not the work. I believe he was right.

A sample of what we've tried this summer. Memories of doing farm work come back vividly. The undulating lines are fun to work with and the simplified shapes let me get right into the memory without getting hung up on structure.

The Cheyenne Art Show

A few shots of the ClayPaperScissors Gallery interior.

The evening was very enjoyable - so nice to see some friends and family. There were enough folks continually dropping by to visit and not feel rushed. The artists working in the studio spaces kept it interesting. We had a tour of the building by the owner. There is an actual church with class rooms and chapel upstairs. Who would have known?!!

We sold several pieces and enjoyed answering questions from the purchasers. Hated to say goodbye to some of the projects, but like children, there comes a time when they must leave home.

D&L Glass in Denver was our next stop. It would be easy to drop a small fortune on their inventory. Can't wait to begin some projects. The next ones will be for sale. I believe we'll find out how to attach a gallery onto this site.
