Merry Christmas

I just wanted to say to all of you that I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and a healthy and happy 2012.   This is a hectic time of year for many of us and I hope you can find the time to relax and reflect on the blessings of the season. 

I will be adding to my blog after the holidays and wanted to remind you that I'll be starting a new painting class at the Lee School Art Academy on Wednesday afternoons from 2:00 - 5:00, beginning Jan. 4.  If you have done any painting in the past and would like to pick it up again, or if you've been painting for years, I'd love to have you in my classes!  Please give me a call at 644-7334 if you'd like to join us. 

In the meantime, I hope the Holidays are really good ones for everyone.

More Wyoming Art

"Capital View Cheyenne"

This one was done quickly in downtown Cheyenne, also this past summer in the plein air event.

"Into The Shellback Ranch"

This is the plein air painting that won 3rd place this summer

in the Prairies to Peaks Plein Air event in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Welcome To My Blog!

"School's Out"
I painted this one in a junkyard in
Cheyenne in 2010, and it won
People's Choice in the plein air event.
It was quite fun being in a junkyard
with my paints in hand!

For those of you who may not know me, I'm an artist here in Paris who loves to paint both in the open air (plein air) and in my studio and am venturing out and learning all about blogging! It may take me a while to conquer this thing, but I hope you'll hang in there and join me and follow me! I wanted to share a few of the paintings I did in the Plein Air events of the past 2 summers in Cheyenne, Wyoming. "Plein Air" is a French term meaning "in the open air", so these were painted on location in a period of a few hours. I love to travel and usually find places to stop and paint. We take the camper out west in the summer and my husband, Laurien will fish and I'll paint - works out pretty well!

Occasionally I'll post my new works, so I'd love it if you'd check back with me from time to time and see what I've been up to with my paints and brushes! I'd also love it if you would subscribe to my blog and keep up with my new paintings as I get them done. To do so just click on "subscribe". Thanks!
