River Garden Studio

Inspirations

This is a photo of a cabinet where I store art supplies in my studio, (which is really a sunroom off our master bedroom). The bulliten board has pictures of my family and friends, and surrounding it are a collection of peices of art either art by myself or collected. I have been working on this blog steadily for five days now. With only four days left of my winter break, I am determined to learn everything I can about typepage.com as I can. A very special thanks to Misty at www.mistymawn.typepad.com and Nina at www.ornamental.typepad.com for their help and encouragement. Their blogs are beautiful. I am also working on getting some canvases ready to show a local shop owner in Klamath Falls. Although our city is growing the gallery my work was being shown closed, because rent payments skyrocketed on our Main street. I have completely enjoyed this break, being with my husband and my son and our pets, listening to music and putting my feet up and watching it snow!

Winter birds

It is a snowy afternoon, the day after Christmas.
We refilled the bird feeders
that hang in the maple outside our front picture windows.
Beyond the tree lies a snowy front yard,
a street and the silver blue Klamath River.
I love to watch the winter songbirds: gold and crimson finches,
sparrows and black capped chickadees.
This is a page that I drew and painted for a book I am working on.
Other paintings are in my photo gallery, A Year by
the Klamath River Watercolors.
