Art in the White Mountains

I have recently been accepted into the North Eastern Arizona Fine Arts Association, and I am very excited to be participating with this fine group of artist here on the mountain. The High Country Art Gallery will be opening May 22, and I will have a few of my painting displayed and available for sale.

The gallery is open from May through October, so if you are in the area be sure to stop by and enjoy some fine art

Hummingbirds are so fun to watch, and also a great subject for painting.

Enjoy!

a paint-me moment~

When one of my art-group friends posted a piece of photography to her Facebook page, I immediately contacted her to see if I could paint from her image. The 8 inch bloom was so vibrant, it screamed out PAINT ME!

My talented hubby made this rustic display for my miniature paintings. We have a ton of old barbed wire laying around our property, so thought it could be put to use to give my desert paintings a feel of the Ole Southwest!

more desert delights~

This weekend we headed out for a day drive to the Tonto Natural Bridge north of Payson Az. It's a must-see if you are ever in the area! I took over 100 pictures not only of the natural bridge, but also cactus, rocky landscapes, puffy clouds, and yes wildflowers.
