GYPSY UPDATE

We've been in the Eastern Sierra, near Long Pine CA (southern part of the range) for about a month -- and we're still loving it here! Not only are we near the eastern portal to Mt. Whitney, the incredible Alabama Hills granite formations (where many movies, especially westerns, were filmed) comprise 1000s of acres right up against the mountains. We're doing lots of hiking, slick-rock-friction climbing, and general exploring. We've seen a couple decent mountain snow storms, which are now almost melted. We've been without 'connectivity', but are now back within cell tower range and have a strong signal; I'll post some pictures of the area this week.

And I've found time to do some painting.This little watercolor on YUPO is the sunrise snaking down Mt. Whitney -- quite a site for sure!

Recent Art

Here's a couple recent Watercolors on YUPO. More of my 'square plastic critters'. These are a blast to paint. I especially like the Gambel's Quail, which is titled 'High Roller'. The hawk is appropriately titled 'Hawkeye'.
