The Gardener’s Shed ~10x8” oil ~ I am so ready for daisies- anyone else? Or for that matter any flower ! Looking forward to painting at @bigtrees_nursery in a few months- come on springtime. This and others are available at the @juniperskygallery in Ivins- a great place to go for a stroll thru shops and redrock views. #juniperskygallery #daisies #pleinairflowers #missingsummer #pleinair #pleinairartist #pleinairutah #southernutah #shewhowanders #notallwhowanderarelost #utahig #womenartistoninstagram #goodforthesoul #arttherapy #livingthelife #wildflowers #oilcolors #womenartistsofthewest #pleinairlife #livingthelife #runningdownadream #ohmyhellyes #shewhopaintsalot # #womenartists (at Kayenta Art Scene & Center for the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B756KxanVCF/?igshid=1b0nrq8x5cl6g

I was granted the rarely bestowed **perfect** English paper. I rock. Be jealous. #backtoschool #englishcomposition #researchpaper #college #collegelife #aplus #perfect #freshman #freshmanyear #straightastudent #studyhard #studentmom #oldstudentmom #ucsbbound #classof2022 #runningdownadream

Desert Road- Summer skies- 9x12” - oil. Our group painted at Three Peaks (although I count many more ) a few weeks ago. This area is out more in the desert part of where I live. Great place to paint clouds. I loved the feel of this dirt road against the sky- the shadows were inviting. There’s something about dirt roads that take me back to my childhood and exploring with my family.

Early Fall Desert - 9x12” oil - Nothing like the taste of a fall morning in the desert! Light is changing, Lizards are not as nervous and the temperatures are perfect! This is the bigger version from the tiny art I posted yesterday. I love this view- it goes all the way to Zion Canyons in the distance. Even more fun to share with fellow painters @charmtrink and @Mona_woolsey who both had awesome paintings. Available- msg me or website link in bio.

Potter’s Shed - 10x8” - oil. Another view of this fabulous old building at @bigtrees_nursery. I love that they have kept and nurtured several old buildings- wish more people would. The flower plantings that Cassie (owner) has put together thruout their business is also marvelous- go check them out!!! Meanwhile a few more things to paint there including a cool chicken coop 😊.

Starry Night - 1.75x1.5”- oil. Another micro painting in my “Tiny Tin At” series. I love this one- it’s the view I see every night when I let Max outside for a lawn stroll. The Big Dipper is always with me no matter where I am. #tinyartshow #tinytinart #dugatobrushes @suma_museum #starrynight #nocturnepainting #southernutah #pleinairlife #tinyartwork #pleinairartist #pleinairutah #notallwhowanderarelost #utahig #womenartistoninstagram #goodforthesoul #arttherapy #livingthelife #womenartistsofthewest #pleinairlife #livingthelife #runningdownadream #ohmyhellyes #shewhopaintsalot #livinglife #perfectgift #xputah #exploreutah #boldbrushpaintingcompetition #artforsalebyartist #shewhowanders #boldbrush #mhoilpaints https://www.instagram.com/p/B2RQF-KnSHl/?igshid=vn4swxv9cuja

Kolob Canyon Magic - 12x9” -oil. I started this one a couple weeks ago and finally finished it last week at Kolob. When the morning light hits those red rock walls it’s magical. Sometimes I forget to paint, instead just being - absorbing this magic and trying to keep it inside me.

Lupine and Sunflowers 10x8” oil. I drove by this spot on the way to Panguitch Lake. I fished for a bit but this scene kept calling me so reeked in and went back to paint it. I really didn’t want to wrestle with greens today but I did. I’d like to think I won today’s battle. Available- msg me or website link in bio.
