The last two paint-outs were sunny and clear skies. We had another artist, Emma, join us. We are growing! On Jan. 8 we met at an historic cattle ranch "park" outside of Carson City, called Silver Saddle Ranch. Here are some pictures showing the views. It is amazing that calves are being born in this frigid weather.
On Jan. 15 we three met on Mt. Rose at the ski school location of Sky Tavern when it was closed for skiing. It was warmer ---- a toasty 37 degrees! I have a new set-up for my oils - an old paintbox mounted on a tripod. Much easier and lighter than the french easel! I actually needed to snowshoe where I painted because the snow was not packed down there and was quite deep.
Hi Carolyn, I just discovered your blog. I have a family vacation planned for Sept to Lake Tahoe and I hope to do some painting. Look forward to seeing where all you paint over the coming months. Thanks for sharing the photos! - Jen
