My studio and baby Christmas Trees in the snow.

December 2006:
We sold Christmas wreaths this year, as the Christmas trees we are growing are still too small to market. The 95 inches of snow we have had this season has covered up the baby trees, which they really like.

November 2006:
I had several really fun commissions for folks who wanted special Christmas presents for their loved ones. Here is one of my favorites.

   

October-November, 2006:
I was lucky enough to be invited on Jeni Sue's Grand Canyon river trip. I hopped into a boat at Pipe Creek, and rowed the lower half, taking my paints down the river with me. Along with some great painting time and reconnecting with friends, I got to swim the left side of Bedrock. Not recommended!

Dawn over Baseline Reservoir

September-October, 2006:
I spent our gorgeous fall going out and painting on-location around the county, to have lots of small inexpensive work for sale during Open Studios. Open Studios is always the first two weekends in October, and this year we had about 600 visitors to our studios.

 

July 2006:
Chris and I were able to spend another couple of weeks up at Echo Lake this summer, doing only minimal construction. I was able to paint almost every day on location around the lake, and came home with several commissions of neighboring cabins which I completed this fall.

Spring 2006:
Cha Cha and I organized and produced the Eccentric Artists Gardens Exhibit and Tour. The Eccentric Artists consist of 39 Boulder County painters, sculptors and gardeners who produce a biennial event:  The Eccentric Artists’ Garden Exhibit and Tour. The painters and sculptors in our group created new work for the Exhibit, inspired by the 14 artists’ gardens which the public could visit during the Tour.

Since I was an exhibiting painter in the Show, a participating gardener in the Tour, as well as the event organizer, it was a very busy spring. The painting to the right was in the show, and is titled "My True Companion", inspired by all the concrete work I did in the garden.

Boulder Backroads

January 2006:
Leslie Kinder asked me to paint an image for the Boulder Backroads Marathon, to be used on posters promoting the event. Using her photos, I came up with this.
