A few more . . .
Lazy Bend on the Maquoketa River, pastel
I kayaked down this a couple of times in my little inflatable Sevlyor . . . it is the closest thing I had to the sea kayaking I did on vacation before moving to Seattle.
Alpenglow on Mt. Adams and the Tatoosh, pastel
From a photo I took my first night on Rainier, 1995, the year I made summit attempts on Rainier and Olympus.
My First Descent: The Artist Descending the Ingraham Glacier, colored pencil
From a photo my guide took at the point where we turned around to come down. Not a failure to reach the top, but a success that I even tried.
Waiting at the Window, colored pencil on pastel card
My daughter during those great junior high school years . . . you recognize the attitude!
Off Road Vehicle #2, colored pencil
That is me, in a healthy body . . . in a fantasy piece, as I will likely never be able to sit on a horse again.
Santa Cruz, watercolor (done in the three primary colors only)
I did this as a gift for my daughter's mother-in-law, who planned my daughter's entire wedding when I couldn't, due to distance, my health, and the fact that she REALLY REALLY wanted to and knew the city where they were marrying better than I did! This is mom-in-law and my son-in-law, Kevin, at the beach . . . of course, long before my daughter met him!
