This is another attempt to paint the gathering storm clouds we witnessed on an evening of a recent camping trip. I used a scrap panel, so the size is odd (but no problem for a framer). So many subtle colors - such a challenge to paint.

Sunset Storm

A few weeks ago my husband and I went on a camping adventure down through Wyoming, into northern Utah and back up through Idaho. On the last evening we were way up on a hill/mountain/not sure, somewhere in Idaho, surrounded by bushes and a great view of the sky, when these clouds rolled in and started turning these amazing sunset colors. We wandered around with our cameras just saying "wow" over and over again. This little painting is my attempt to capture the scene, though it does the experience no justice.

That night after we crawled into our little teardrop camper, the thunder and lightening started. It was all around us and LOUD and I was scared of being struck. My husband assured me that since the whole thing was connected to the ground by rubber tires, we would be ok. : | Fortunately we didn't have to test that theory.

Market in the Trees

A few weeks ago my husband and I drove over to Spokane & Coeur d'Alene to explore their Saturday markets for reference material. We found the one in Spokane to be fairly underwhelming. This is a scene from the one in Coeur d'Alene, which was nestled in the trees. It made for lovely ambience, and cool shopping, but fairly dark photos. I was thrilled when these two stepped into the light!
