Great Horned Owls are amazing and a welcome

addition to the bird population in our neighborhood.

The chicks are cute little balls of fluff and soft sweet hoots.  

They are fantastic at helping keep the mice 

population at bay.

Quick colored pencil sketch

I think that one of the greatest things  about Adobe Photoshop 

is that you can take a simple quick sketch and pull together

other pieces of your art and combine them together to create 

a wonderful new piece of art full of color and interest.

Photoshop ~ You gotta love it!

Nighttime in the Basin is magical.

The colors are changed and moonlight 

and shadows paint lace patterns

on the snow.

Of all the ornaments I've painted

over the years, this one is my most favorite. 
When I photographed it, I was fortunate
to have our most welcome pasture

The donkey waited quietly in the now
