This week I sort of jumped all over the ideas, as you can see, because I&#8217;m also onto bigger park projects now. These small paintings are all either 5&#8243;x7&#8243; (framed outside is 7&#8243;x9&#8243;), or 6&#8243;x6&#8243; as with the square one. All are currently available on my Etsy Gallery. They&#8217;re all $125 framed and freight-free. <a href=\"https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com\">https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top painting is a chestnut-backed chickadee, a local guy I see every day here. I had another project going on that needed a mossy log and found this great example down our driveway. The mushrooms are inky caps, but young enough they weren&#8217;t really &#8216;inky&#8217; yet. Here&#8217;s a link if you&#8217;re interested. <a href=\"https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com\/listing\/4469193245\">https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com\/listing\/4469193245<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-7-Dipper-framed-840x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-7-Dipper-framed-840x1024.jpg 840w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-7-Dipper-framed-246x300.jpg 246w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-7-Dipper-framed-123x150.jpg 123w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-7-Dipper-framed-768x936.jpg 768w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-7-Dipper-framed.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This second painting, American dipper, is a little portrait of a gray bird on a gray rock. These little guys are river-specialists, walking underwater to find food, nesting behind waterfalls &#8211; and John Muir&#8217;s favorite bird. Maybe mine, too. <a href=\"https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com\/listing\/4468115377\">https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com\/listing\/4468115377<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"907\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-28-Dark-Trail-framed-907x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-28-Dark-Trail-framed-907x1024.jpg 907w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-28-Dark-Trail-framed-266x300.jpg 266w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-28-Dark-Trail-framed-133x150.jpg 133w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-28-Dark-Trail-framed-768x867.jpg 768w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-28-Dark-Trail-framed.jpg 1034w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 907px) 100vw, 907px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This trail is right around the corner from our place in Port Townsend, in a state park with some of the best forest trails I know. I originally made the right side dense with ferns and salal, a rhododendron &#8211; but changed it to  a more simple scene to focus on the trail. 6&#8243;x6&#8243; canvas, it&#8217;s available here: <a href=\"https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com\/listing\/4464943181\">https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com\/listing\/4464943181<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-1-Dungeness-Low-Light-framed-840x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-1-Dungeness-Low-Light-framed-840x1024.jpg 840w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-1-Dungeness-Low-Light-framed-246x300.jpg 246w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-1-Dungeness-Low-Light-framed-123x150.jpg 123w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-1-Dungeness-Low-Light-framed-768x936.jpg 768w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-3-1-Dungeness-Low-Light-framed.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>And finally I was trying to remember a special spot on the Upper Dungeness River, about 25m south of home. I get that way in late winter. I was there last fall when the late afternoon sun was streaming in and lighting up the river with golden afternoon sun. The big glacial erratic rock had me sitting on it, so I reversed the scene as if I were on the far shore. This one is available here. <a href=\"https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com\/listing\/4466197478\">https:\/\/eifertgallery.etsy.com\/listing\/4466197478<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below: A new little bonus portrait of my partner of many decades, Nancy Cherry. It&#8217;s acrylic on watercolor paper, and it was painted on a little card for her birthday. Happy Birthday, my partner in life, as well as countless trails and places I&#8217;ve painted in a very long and fantastic ride of being an artist.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-14-Nancy-by-Larry-1-791x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-14-Nancy-by-Larry-1-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-14-Nancy-by-Larry-1-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-14-Nancy-by-Larry-1-116x150.jpg 116w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-14-Nancy-by-Larry-1-768x995.jpg 768w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-14-Nancy-by-Larry-1-1186x1536.jpg 1186w, https:\/\/larryeifert.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-2-14-Nancy-by-Larry-1.jpg 1409w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Nancy Cherry  Eifert, March 2, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading this week.
