My nephew asked me if I had ever done any paintings of "houses on stilts" , and I remembered doing this sketch while I was in Thailand. This was quickly done from a moving vehicle (hence the moving vehicle lines) . People often ask what pens I like to use, and the answer is: the free ones at my bank. This is ink and watercolor on paper, 5 X 8.25. I love Moleskine sketchbooks for many reasons- one of them is that the paper is nice enough to paint on.

provo plein air festival
October 1-3 was the 2nd annual Provo Plein Air Festival, and since my daughter has just started to get much more mobile and independent- I was a little nervous to go out painting. I decided to paint the Provo Temple because there was a lot of space for her to play, while I was painting, a group of sister missionaries from the MTC happened by and took our picture. My husband made the frame for the painting, "Fall Session" oil on panel, 8 1/2 X 13

Painting at the Tulip Festival
Here I am painting (with my little daughter's help)
Here is the painting (in progress)- you can see the "zipp clamps " I was talking about- they are hard plastic clamps that are tightened when the "t" bracket is put in place- I love using them, they are so convienent and they do not mark the edges in any way
Purple Tulips
This is my painting from the first day of the Tulip Festival, since I had my daughter with me this year, I decided to do all watercolors this year. I did all quarter sheets arches 140 lb ( I typically prefer hot press, but I decided to give cold press a try again, and I like it, so I used both) I strecthed my paper using fabulous zipp clips
