Mt Shasta Bear

Sky Spirit came to earth and formed Mount Shasta.

He brought his family to this new home.

He made Grizzly and placed him at the base.

When Sky Spirit’s daughter became lost, Grizzly found her.

Grizzly shared his home where she grew, wed

and gave birth to a new creation.

These were the ancestors of the tribes.

The Bear on my door post guards me.

I must guard the Grizzly.

Blue Eyed Raven
Acrylic on Canvas

Watch out for her.
She loves to play her clever tricks.
She is quite intelligent and resilient.
She is both a scavenger and a predator.
If you see her eying you,
Think before you play her games.

Come see more of these on display in the Olde Towne St. Helens Masonic Building Beautification Project Window Gallery after March 24th 2012.

Basket making fun.

At our February guild meeting Kathie Fellows taught us to make seagrass baskets. It was so much fun that I have ordered several sizes of seagrass to experiment with. I can't wait to see what I can create. Just so much fun.

"Riding Through Winters Wonderland"

I painted this for my sister in law for Christmas and wanted to share it with you.  I enjoy painting Mt. Hood and I use my "Artist's License" to add interesting foregrounds......ie....the horses and riders.
