Bluebird skies
Oregon is, for the most part, decidedly gray. But we have been experiencing the most beautiful, clear, crisp weather for the past four or five days. Just gorgeous. But cold. Which is okay with me; we used to live in Montana and I swear I can handle 20 below as long as the sun is shining.
The pros of this unseasonably good weather:- I can send the kids outdoors All Day.
- There's better lighting in my studio for painting.
- Everyone's in a good mood.
- Days seem longer.
- You can see every cobweb and window smudge that has gone unnoticed through the winter.
- The discovery of these cobwebs and smudges tends to interfere with my making of art. (Can't paint 'til house is clean. I'm crazy like that.)
She always wants to have her photo taken on these steps.
We saw some geese. I think I'll paint them.
We also saw the Wienermobile, which is less artistic and more Americana.
I love your work
Rachel – How do I get in touch with you about a portrait of my dog? I can’t get the earthlink email address to go through. Thanks.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. Ketie looks like she is emerging from a bubble bath. What fun!
