Chloe Kurt

Meet Chloe Kurt, daughter of Carol and Karen Kurt.

She is young -- just a puppy, but smart as a whip and sweet as the day is long.

An Aussie Shepard, she is soft and and has wispy fur.  

We all welcome her to our hiking community in Aspen!

The Albrecht Children...

         Cricket and Casey are adorable Ragdoll kitties.  They jump and play and sleep in the sunshine.  Their fur is soft and wispy and floats in the air.  As I painted them,
I could feel their warmth and gentle sweetness.  

Miss Chicken in Scottsdale, Arizona

Miss Chicken arrived in Scottsdale, Arizona!  She has been around the world several times, and travels incessantly.  She came here, after waiting for over a year on a list.  All of the artists on the list wanted to paint her.  I wanted to paint her too.

I thought that she would like to see our desert here, so I painted her among the cacti in the Sonoran desert.  I think she enjoyed it here, although she couldn't understand why she couldn't touch the cacti.  I explained that the cacti have large thorns that stick you if you touch them.  One needs to admire them from afar.  She thought that was just fine.

Miss Chicken leaves tomorrow for her next destination.  Good-bye Miss Chicken.  Thank-you for letting me paint you!!

Quiet Study

My friend, Bernie Grauer, was bicycling in the Frying Pan River basin.  

He stopped when he saw these magnificent long horned sheep.  He was able to get a few photos of them -- just quietly studying their surroundings.  Aren't they stunning creatures??

Eat More Chicken!!

I just love cows and steers!  They are so unhurried.  They look DIRECTLY at you and just watch....

My dear friend, Gini, allowed me to paint her photograph of these steers.  Thanks, Gini!

Serenade

Serenade

The cowboy was sitting outside of the barn at the end of the day, picking out a tune on his guitar.  Behind his sunglasses, he was totally immersed in his tune.

This painting will be shown at Colorado Watercolor Society's

annual exhibition in February in Denver.

Joey Bowman, Running from the Surf....

This little lady is Josephine Bowman, better known by Andy and Mary D. Bowman as

"Joey."  She is soft and white and wonderful.  Here, she bounces from the surf in 

Michigan, where she and her parents live.  I will send her painting to 

the Bowmans for a late Christmas gift.  Merry Christmas, Andy and Mary D!
