I am finally living in North Idaho. Not really moved in and there are a lot of giant loose ends but I’m catching the tail end of summer!
My sister and her family came out for my first official week here. We took a really fun outing up Schweitzer Mountain. We road the chair lift up to the 6,400 foot summit then hiked down 2.5 miles (2,440 feet elevation change) to the ski village. It was a breathtaking vista and a beautiful sunny day. We carried to go cup drinks up the chair lift and snacked on mountain huckleberries most of the way down the mountain.
What a great day!
This is an older painting, when blackbirds were a bit of a series. Once again I was building up heavy textured imagery.
This is an especially contemporary acrylic painting for me. I was experimenting with materials and ideas with no clear destination.
