May 30, 2024

Time flies when you are having fun!  Last October Steven and I made a whirlwind driving trip up to Idaho Falls, then to Salt Lake City, Utah.   We headed for the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.   It was wonderful to see Yellowstone park and Old Faithful.   We saw many beautiful sights along the way and made it to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse for a few days.   We headed South from there to Omaha, Nebraska to visit family before we got on the last leg to home in Missouri.   It was a wonderful trip but we were exhausted...in a good way. Ha.   

After getting home we started plans on my new Art Studio.   The footings and floor were poured in December and after a long wait the Amish crew started construction in February finally finishing the last of March.    I now have about everything moved from my old studio to my new location.   And I'm ready to start painting again, although I feel I'll be a little rusty...  Oh well.   They say it's like riding a bicycle....Right!?  LOL   

Thanks as always for your support and comments on Facebook and Instagram.  Bye for now, 

Susan

Dogwood Canyon update

I was sad to see the flooding that happened at Dogwood Canyon last week, and all the surrounding area. Of course worse yet were the terrible tornadoes that have taken so many lives, injured so many others and demolished so many homes and properties in Arkansas, Georgia and Alabama. Our little town, Stockton, was devastated in the 2003 tornado, but nothing to the extent of these latest storms. My heart and prayers go out to all involved. It's taken years to recoup here, but I hope the new victims know there is light at the end of the tunnel of recovery. De, Diane, Cheryl and I were glad that we made our little trip to Dogwood before the storms hit. I'll upload the painting I started there. I wish I'd had a little more time to work on it there. After flooding like they've had, the rocks may have been moved from the falls. We won't know until the park is cleaned up and open to the public again. I hope there's not too much da

This is a tribute to a wonderful art friend who died a few years ago, Dennis Yates.    He was and still is an inspiration to me.    I uploaded this painting of mine before, but this is a better photo of the painting.   Dennis let me use his original photo to work from.   I've had many offers to purchase this, but I promised him I wouldn't sell it, so it graces my brother's dining room in Alabama.   This is      "Apple Basket", 16"x 20", Oil on canvas.
