Mountain Lake
This is one of those beautiful CO lakes. Clouds, have to go out of West TX to see those now days. A rain & Lighting & Thunder, sounds good. In the mountains there is nothing like the rolling Thunder & flashes of lightening that you can experience. The smell of the rain on the pines & in the clean mountain air. Lighting is like watching a fireworks display. This painting is a watercolor on paper. 11 x 15. Much looser then I usually paint so no drawing just paint.
But the clouds are not all good to our neighbors in MO, OK & other states that are suffering bad storms & tornados. You have our prayers & sorrow for your loss.

Sailboat
I had lots of photos of Sailboats that we had seen on the TX coast. Love the glow of a sunset on the water. Wish we could get some of these clouds that would drop some rain on our dry pastures.

Hats
What a fun workshop we had in Lamesa with Jobeth. We all brought hats & got lots of photos & painted from still life set ups. It really takes almost as much time to set up a still life as painting it. There were ten ladies so a big variety of hats were there. We all tried on hats & lots of giggling was going on. Lots of nice paintings were painted. JoBeth will be back in Lamesa June 21 & we will do hats again with people. I have one hat painting finished & another one started. I will post hat paintings soon.

HO HO HO
Lots of collages being done right now so here is a print on canvas, one of my favorite collages I have done. Hard for me to get a photo without the glare on canvases. I only have 3 of these prints left. I used wrapping paper & tissue paper & some watercolor paper.

Flat Top Mountain
These mountains are to the South of my house. I can imagine smoke signals coming from the round top of Signal Mountain. Many different Indian Tribes & other Travelers came through our area. Buffalo & other game were found here where the grass & water were plentiful. This is W TX but we did have lots of water & running Springs at one time. Moss Springs was a popular place to picnic , swim or just to cool off. A beautiful cavelike overhang was by the Spring. Too bad that progress caused the overhang to cave in. Not sure if it still flows but at one time it was flowing at another spot. Moss Springs is near Signal Mountain. This painting is done in watercolor on Yupo paper.
