My daughter and her daughter- I'd made the grand baby a crochet hat with braids- but she ripped it off as fast before I could get a photo. Ah, but savvy Mom whisked her up- and I finally got a photo- but you can see that little hand ready to remove it once again. oil on canvas board.

The students from Hilltop Glass Class had an exhibit in Seymour Conservatory in Tacoma. I came in to get out of the rain- and painted inside- with permission. We had a lot of fun sharing information about our chosen media!

I took the photo from the ferry heading for Pt Towsend. The pastel was done in studio on textured board. Mt.Baker sure looks bare in the Fall- yet it will get the largest snowfall in the Cascades.

I got a pretour of the Key Peninsula Farm Tour- my first chance to see Kaukiki Farm. What a lovely spot- I especially loved the pond. This was used on a poster for the event, and the original was purchased by the owners.

I took a photo for reference just before a storm hit. When I finally did this pastel from the photo, it brought to mind the big thunderheads I had seen in Santa Fe. This helped me give just the right intensity to the clouds over Mt Vernon- SOLD!

I often take part in events for land preservation. My piece of Peach Preserve, on Guemes Island, won an award and was bought by the resident caretakers.
