This was painted on a warm summer afternoon in the Cascades. I sat in the shade of a big tree and painted the wildflowers in front of me adding in the others I had seen that morning as I had been walking.
In my 80s, I am a westerner, with one home on a cattle and sheep ranch in the Coast Range and a second in Tucson, Arizona. Don’t ask how that works out, as mostly it takes a lot of juggling, but it’s worth what it requires to make it happen.
A wife, mother and grandmother, I write romances that are set in the American West— using settings in Oregon, Arizona, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and South Dakota.
My stories range from contemporary and historic to fantasy. I enjoy combining a couple’s romance with my own interests of hiking, creativity, speculation, dreams, nature, art, animals, relationships, family, politics, photography, aging, country living, transitions, and our senses (all 6).
