I am honored to be part of this fun group. Thank you for all you do for the group, Lyric!

Hi there, Reynold! It is a great legacy we can treasure! We are lucky!! I once painted (a gauche) from an old photograph of my dad packing out with his horses after an early deep snowfall --- the horses were knee-deep and the painting was mostly white on white. :) He was in Yellowstone in its early days. He was himself a wonderful black and white photographer. I never did think to ask him how he managed to set up that picture.

Thank you, Mona! :)

Thanks, David! :)

This is piece was inspired by my dad, who was a park ranger in Yellowstone. He would ride back into a place called "One Mile Ranger Station" in the early spring...and ride back out after the first snowfall. It's nice to know that maybe my connection with him shows in this piece.....there is one more piece I did with him in miind which I titled called "A Good Day Never Comes to an End." You may stumble across it at some point, and if you do, you will know that's him. :))

Thanks, Valerie! :)

Thanks, Reynold! (I'll be working on that...)

Thank you, Maria!

Thanks Joan-Violet! I enjoy the 'sympatico' of pencil and paper. It is primal and simple-- and sometimes enough! :)

Thanks, Pam!
