Plein Air of Palo Duro Canyon, Near Amarillo Texas

This painting is acrylic on stretched canvas. Clicking on the picture will take you to the prints. We were staying in the Lighthouse cabin at Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle, and I wanted to paint on location! The wind was strong, but I was determined. I did manage to paint most of the scene en plein air, adding touch-ups later.

It was a great experience. On the first night, we heard thunder, rain, and wind. I opened the door and peered out. There was no rain, no thunder, and no lightning, but much wind, bounding down the canyon and whipping around the rock cabin. I went back to sleep, to the sound of pounding--wind!

On the second day, I found a small snake in the living area of the cabin. It had been hiding under my shoe. We managed to see him safely out of the building.

Finn Hotel of Pleasant Hill, Louisiana is Popular

This old hotel once stood by the railroad tracks in Pleasant Hill, Louisiana. Those old enough remember it as an old building in disrepair. But it was once a beautiful hotel with livery stables, waiting to shelter weary travelers. I used an old photo as a reference, deliberately putting emphasis on the building itself.

McNeill Street Pumping Station

The McNeill Street Pumping Station went into operation in Shreveport, Louisiana in the late 1800's. It still stands in downtown Shreveport, with much of its equipment intact.

How to Store Earrings: One Way Among Many

I made this a few months ago to hold those earrings that keep hiding in the jewelry box. Simply staple a piece of window screen to an ornate frame. You will need a heavy duty stapler, of course. This frame is 14x11. I now wish I had chosen a larger frame.
