Fun in Creede- Memorial Weekend

Artists in Creede

Here is part of the gang-- Cynthia Cutts, Charlie Ewing, Stephen Quiller, Coni Grant, me, & Rita Roberts.

A quick picture before the quick draw.

I am talking about my painting before the quick draw-- I had done a little study of Aspen up North Clear Creek Falls and did a rendition of that painting- this piece was a little larger- 9x12 while the original plein air was 8x10.

The lucky winner of the quick draw auction -- Joe and Audrey Poxson - thank you Joe and Audrey!! All proceeds of the auction were donated to the Creede chamber for upcoming art events. I think the hand holding the painting belongs to David Montgomery- thanks David!

Quick Draw in Creede!!!

Today will be filled with graduation parties good times with a lot of wonderful graduates and their parents. This year I had a reprieve from giving a graduation party but will be ready to do my last for 2011- Jason will be graduating next year and that will be it for high school activities. After 4 children- I think I will be ready - but our small community of Sargent is based around the schools- out in the middle of grain and potato fields- and I think I will miss it and all of the activities and the kids, yes especially the kids....

I will be participating in the quick draw in Creede tomorrow, Sunday, so please come up and see us painting on location under the tents in Creede. It is a great way to get a good deal on a piece of art.. Hope to see you there!

The above painting was painted at the ranch - early morning- the bugs aren't out yet- thank goodness!
