Ahhh, SUMMER!
The sun is out in beautiful Bozeman, Montana and I am happy to find myself back to my first love,
painting. Brush in hand, I've been outside studying the wildly dramatic afternoon thunderstorms, as well as the calm, vibrant summer sky. I could watch clouds for hours, and oftentimes, I do just that.

Skyscapes, mountains and water are my focus with (as always) emotion-filled color. I'm
feeling out my surroundings and where I'm at, right now, with each brushstroke. I have to say, the freedom to create with my two pups in the fresh air reminds me everyday how lucky I am.

Some people find
words with ease, not me. I find color and shapes to explain my world more than anything else. And really, I think I always have...
"I found that I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way- things I had no words for." Georgia O'Keeffe
Here are a few RAW picture to show you what I've been working on. As always, some will make the cut, others, well... those are the ones I hope to learn from. Join me at the
Sweet Pea Festival August 3, 4, 5 in Bozeman, MT to see allllllllllllllllllllllll of my
new paintings finished and on display!
