We’ve spent the better part of two weeks camping along Olympic National Park’s Hoh River<\/strong>, and I have a bunch of fun mixed media paintings to report. We’re home now, watering some very thirsty tomatoes, yanking out the gone-to-seed stuff we forgot about –\u00a0and trying to figure out how to return to the West End for a few days more. Probably won’t happen soon, because there are some very patient people waiting for us to do our art-tricks – and we\u00a0thank you. What? This little watercolor and ink created on my lap in the camp chair while I was being eaten alive by the moskies isn’t art-trick enough? Well, the spash of paint followed up by a dead run to the\u00a0camper was a pretty good trick. “Moskies” was what I heard a Brit call the evil\u00a0Hoh River mosquitoes. Pretty good name.<\/p>\n

This ORIGINAL painting is watercolor and ink\u00a0on paper\u00a0, 8″ x 10″ and $140 unframed.
\nThe dark\u00a0mahogany\u00a0frame with a double mat and glass makes it a total of $180 and shipping adds just a bit more depending on your zone or if you take the frame. This is the original painting, NOT a print.
\nEmail <\/a>us for details if you’re interested.<\/p>\n

AND……………..<\/p>\n

Here’s a friend that\u00a0came by the campsite to visit one evening. We’ve not seen such a perfect bull elk\u00a0 up close and personal in years. Had to have been 1200 lbs and not a mark on him. I guessed from ground to antler top was at least 8.5\u00a0feet, and you sure didn’t want to stand in his way as he came past. At the closest point he was about 15′ from us, and the tree I was hiding behind seemed pretty darned small. Olympic NP\u00a0has the largest unmanaged elk herd in the country, and this guy truly seemed ‘unmanaged.’ Whooie.<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading this week.
