I started with watercolor crayon on canvas.  Oh yes, it works.  With a little fixative and some finishing with oils, these were the beginnings of my fall work.    I grew up in Oregon and spent many years living in Breckenridge, Colorado, my love for the woods always appears in the heat of the Texas summers.   I decided that if I wasn't able to travel up north in the summer, well that's ok, I would paint out of my memory.       Some things are never forgotten.   And the images of the those amazing places, never leave my mind.  So Ok....I will just paint what I feel and care about and with that intention, the painting began again. 

 These paintings are both on 25x25  gallery wrap canvas. 1. is titled  "Just the Woods"  and 2.  "September"
