More on my alphabet series.

And Mike? I have to say you were right, I should have gone E - for Elephant instead. This little guy was really challenging with all those whites!

Also, I think I forgot to mention that my last post was D - for Dump Truck. Of course!

And, I'm so proud to announce that this week I was awarded the "Passion for Painting Award" by Carolyn Finnell, she works as an art director in Louisiana. Thank you so much Carolyn! I always hope that my paintings will inspire. Now I need to get a free moment to pass this along. There are so many deserving blogs out there.

Anyway, thanks again!

"Old Ford Dump Truck"

6 x 8" oil/canvas panel - sold

My husband bought this old dump truck from a neighbor last summer. I'm glad he did, because we sure need more junk around here on the ranch. (Kidding!) Really, it is a nice lawn ornament and of course a perfect subject too. It actually still works, but as far as I can tell only on a few cylinders.

"Pump House"

My husband left for a job in Washington yesterday, which means I've got to shift gears and take on ranch duty. He'll only be gone for a week so I'm going to put these larger paintings aside and just work on some smaller sketches and maybe do a few things for the auctions too.

Its snowing like crazy here right now, so this painting was done from a photo taken last summer near Gardiner, Montana. Thats me wishing for a sunny day in the mountains.
