The Cache la Poudre River, also known as the Poudre River, is in northeastern Colorado and is a place for fishing, especially fly fishing. It has it's peaceful areas but I love this area of rushing water.

Trampas Lake in the Pecos Wilderness


16 X 12 
Oil on Linen Panel 

Reference photograph by Karen Jokela 


Karen and her husband spend a fair amount of time on horseback so they get to see beautiful sights the rest of us ooh and aah over. The Pecos Wilderness is an area of New Mexico I've never been to. I don't know if the rocks have a separate name, but they are my focus for this painting.

Rocky Ridge 


16 X 12 
Oil on Linen Panel 

Painted from a photograph by Janet Herman 

We have so many ridges similar to this in our area along our highways where cuts have been made in the hills.

I did learn how to paint over palette knife when painting this picture, and to use a palette knife to flatten the paint from the brush.  I have much to learn about painting clouds.

Upper Falls at Yellowstone National Park

16 X 12 
Oil on Linen Panel 
Painted from my photograph.


I took this photograph on our extended trip this summer. The amount of water going over the falls was really impressive. In New Mexico we need more water; perhaps that's why it fascinates me so. Above the falls, looking down on the water just going over the edge, the water is dark green at the edges. It's truly a gorgeous place. Yellowstone was not as I had imagined it. I'm so glad we took the time to go and I plan to go again sometime.
