I had to paint this peaceful scene

they were driven from their homes in the middle of a bitter winter freeze so
cold it froze the Mississippi solid enough to drive loaded wagons across.<span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Big Lost River in Idaho meanders south
through the Saw Tooth Mountains from north of Mackay until it becomes lost in
the desert between Arco, and Craters of the Moon National Monument. On a recent return to this valley where I
grew up, I ventured out to find our favorite fishing and swimming hole, and
stumbled on a “newcomer” basking in the morning sun.<span style="color: #548dd4; mso-themecolor: text2; mso-themetint: 153;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

We used to
live in a rural area outside of Ogden, Utah next to a farm family that sold
their produce in a road side Fruit Stand.
After high schools were out in the spring he would recruit the young
people to help pick, haul and sell the fruits and vegetables. It seemed the girls preferred working at the
stand, and often devised their own costumes/uniforms so they could get sun tans
while they worked. I have painted one
such day at the stand.</div>

I guess I'm
a throw back because I love listening to the sounds of nature. It's almost music to hear voices calling in
the distance, mixed with the alternating cadence of someone chopping wood, the
staccato buzz of an engine revving, and all this coming on the whispers of the
wind. I've tried to picture a farmer
pausing in his chores to enjoy the sounds "From a Distance".</div>

Roaming through the countryside near Sonoma, California I fell under the spell of this old barn sturdily awaiting the next harvest. The lane to the door looked unused and the fields appeared abandoned, but it had been built well and still offered shade from the summer sun, and a protected nest to the owl that swooped into the loft while I painted.</div>

South of the Salt Flats West of Salt Lake City lie desert
valleys with few roads and lots of Juniper and sage brush. Out there the desert winds whisper of ancient
lake beds, and civilizations coming and going while seeking the deer and
antelope for food and clothing. It's
easy to imagine their shadows under the low trees in the quiet isolation.</div>

The lightning flashed amid the rolling thunder during the
night, but the next morning the air smelled pristine, and the world felt

There’s a small seep on the
back side of Squaw Peak high up where the canyons are still shallow depressions. Once you get up there it’s pretty easy
riding, but the climb up is steep and rocky, and on a hot summer morning the
sun beats off the rocks, there’s hardly a breath of air, and sweat starts
trickling down your back something awful.
It’s a welcome break to climb down and let the horse get a drink.<o:p></o:p></div>

I was invited to spend a Night at the Museum as the featured
artist. Payton was one of the visitors at the exhibit, and volunteered to act
as my subject for a half hour portrait painting demonstration. She was a good sport, and we had lots of fun
teasing with the other customers during our half hour. I've done portraits at fairs and exhibits
before, and have found it easier to "catch" the subject as they move
naturally through the pose while interacting with others than it is to demand
that they try to hold a rigid pose. They
think they are holding, but inevitably move imperceptibly one way or another
and it is nearly impossible to get them to move back to the original spot. Especially with young people like Payton,
part of making them feel comfortable is to allow them to interact with friends
and family who are usually standing nearby.</div>

This was painted from a photo of a house in Nebraska, and one of a
tree in Idaho. Again I am experimenting
with the textures and colors available when using a palette knife. I really liked the transparent to opaque
passages in the tree and sky. It reminded me of times, as a child, playing tag and hide and seek in the coolness of the evening air just after the sun went down. It seemed almost dreamlike, and sounds seemed to carry so well in the stillness that preceded full darkness.</div>

I painted this from a photo I took of a lighthouse on the south
Florida coast several years ago while on a trip with the BYU Art Department. I used a palette knife and enjoyed the
challenges that tool introduces. I
layered the colors and did a lot of mixing on the painting surface.</div>

chuckled to myself when I thought they looked like bullies getting ready to
beat up on the poor onion. The challenge was to capture the colors and textures

I was invited to spend a Night at the Museum as the featured
artist. Amy was one of the pirates "come alive" at the exhibit, and
volunteered to act as my subject for a half hour portrait painting
demonstration. She was a good sport, and
we had lots of fun teasing with the paying customers during our half hour. I've done portraits at fairs and exhibits
before, and have found it easier to "catch" the subject as they move
naturally through the pose while interacting with others than it is to demand
that they try to hold a rigid pose. They
think they are holding, but inevitably move imperceptibly one way or another
and it is nearly impossible to get them to move back to the original spot.</div>

It was a cold February morning and the thought of a cool
lime drink seemed to be just what I needed, and it turned out to be just the
thing I wanted to paint. Painting the
glass with the ice and slice of lime was almost as refreshing as the
drink. With all the orange slices
surrounding the remaining slice of lime I considered calling the painting
"The Chosen", but went for the simpler title instead.</div>
