Today we have a few inches of snow in North Idaho. Nothing but snow for days according to the forecast! Regardless of the date winter has arrived.
So it seemed appropriate to post this warm campfire painting. There is so much I want to work on but it is hard not to switch gears to some winter scenes…

December 1st, it seemed like the last day to hike up Gold Hill without snow. So I made the 6 mile round trip excursion this morning. It’s such a beautiful view and great exercise, sorry I didn’t make more hikes to the top this year. As I type this the snow is piling up outside. At this point it is on the ground for the season!

It was in the low 20’s during the hike. By the end I pulled my water bottle out of my jacket and it had frozen!

Another small water piece. This one sold along with other 10″ water painting I recently posted. I am varnishing them now!

In my life I have felt like a negative soul. Still it seems the act of creation is an act of optimism.

A brooding forest scene. Experimenting with some new ideas.

Last weeks TBT has inspired me to pursue some small water panels.
