Do you see the turtles sunning themselves?   Yesterday my friend and I were doing some plain air painting and drawing.  I mostly did sketching.  It was the perfect day with not a cloud in the sky.  Plenty of birds and flowers blooming.  The trees finally leafing out.  Woodland plants unfurling their petals.

I am on the ranch in Idaho this week.  Will be posting some new artwork from my Idaho studio on the ranch. There is a lot of wildlife around.  On a quick stroll, I saw flocks of birds, antelope, and deer, along with the pet cats, dogs, horses, and the cows (all have babies right now). The sky is so big up in the mountains, the moon shines during blue skies. Mountain lupine.  This is what the Karner Blue butterflies must have to survive.  (I posted a painting of one on the blog a couple days ago.)      

Just browsing through dropbox at some of my favorite photos from last year.  I'll share a few.  :)
