Bodie Homestead

This building is located in Bodie State Historic Park in Bridgeport California, which is a gold-mine ghost town. The structures are all in a state of arrested decay, or have been left as is. You can walk through the dirt streets around and peer in windows. Bodie Homestead oil on canvas 40x30in. High Camp Home … More Bodie Homestead

Frame of Mind

The beginning of summer in Truckee and the Brockway Summit shack is still standing. Surrounded by beautiful Sierra Onions and spreads of Yampahs the aspens area now bright green.

Green barn

This barn is in Genesee Valley in Plumas County. I painted this with a background of movement in warm colors because it reminded me of the Dixie Fire that was burned more than 963,000 acres in three months of 2021. I believe the barn is still standing. Sierra Barn 24×30 inch High Camp Home Sold

Sagehen Creek

Kokanee salmon are spawning in the creek this week. This is a favorite trail for locals and aspen peepers. I took photos and then came back and painted a kokanee moving up stream.

Snow

It was 39% out so I chose a small panel to paint a quick view of aspen and snow before the afternoon sun melted it away.
