Last week on a morning walk I spotted this grass that was just "different" so of course I pick some to take home to fill a vase and study. The next day I drove over to the Spring Creek Campground and the wild Iris were in full bloom, I picked a few of those too! The clear glass vase (jar) was fun to paint....if you haven't noticed I've been painting clear glass vases in my still lifes.....another subject I'm determined to master.

Thanks for stopping by!

" A Days Hike"

16x20 Oil

Please contact me if your interested in this painting, Kathryn@anaturalframe.com

 This is a quiet place we hiked to a couple of years ago while camping in McCall, Idaho. Loaded with fishing poles, cameras, art gear and snacks for the grandkids, off we went for the day. It surprised us by not being a really long hike but it is off the beaten path and worth it.

Have a great day!

"Welcome to Lamoille" Plein Air Study

8x10 Oil

This is a quick study, but if  your interested in something like this please contact me Kathryn@anaturalframe.com

This is one of the views just as you start down into the town of Lamoille. It was partly cloudy....and cold, when the sun popped threw the clouds with it's warmth I sure appreciated it. The trees are an amazing color right now as they are trying to come out of their winter hybernation and into Spring.

Thanks for your visit!

This turned out nice. Photo doesn't do it justice...If your interested in this painting please contact me Kathryn@anaturalframe.com

I surprised myself with this painting!  It really did turned out better than I thought it would .... so much so I might have to find a place for it on the wall until someone wants to take it home. I braved the cold this morning and went to Lamoille...brrr....but worth it!

 I'll post those photos tomorrow. LOl..,   have to keep you coming back for more :)

Hope your havin a good day!

"Thomas Canyon" Lamoille, Nevada

6x8   Oil - Framed

This painting is a donation to the troops but if your interested in something like this please contact me Kathryn@anaturalframe.com

A lesson in being prepared and incentive to get some art work done! An unexpected call from my husband this afternoon asking if I have a painting I can donate for a fundraiser supporting our troops, a local platoon ?

 I was confused about the conversation but since he rarely does this and always supports me in my adventures I started the hunt and came across this little painting I had hanging in my previous home and always enjoyed it and the memories it brought me......painted in Plein Air .....in sandals.....I went home with sunburned feet after having a fabulous day. I hope someone enjoys it as much as I do.

I am working diligently in the studio but have yet to finish anything new to post..so please hang in there and keep visiting...we are also busy planting some trees and shrubs on our 2.84 acres......as much as I enjoy the tall sagebrush in my area we will be in desperate need of a tree for shade soon!

Thanks for visiting!

This weekend we had a blustery day on Saturday and on Sunday the sun came out and we were blessed with the most beautiful day! I couldn't let the day just pass me by, so off I went to Lamoille, which was gorgeous with the fresh snow. I was in Heaven!

I love little sweetheart roses! this little painting was almost scrapped but I really have a difficult time giving up on things...... so this painting sat on my watercolor board for months....and months and I decided to push it's limit. I ended up liking it very much.

It's sweet!

Have a great day and thank you for your visit.
