A professional goat

Met a bunch of goats on the golf course the other day.  They pen them in on the hillsides to keep the weeds down.  So cute, and they were very friendly.

Japanese white-eye

These guys are great looking.  I have one that visits the hibiscus out side my window while I'm painting.

Surf's Up...seems appropriate with the impending hurricane!

Battening down the hatches...hurricane Douglas should be here by midnight.  Think it's veering to the north so we should just have heavy winds and rain. Always exciting though

I figured since these are growing in the garden I might as well try and paint them.

Love these little flowers...soft subtle colors

Sunset outside of Denver

A friend posted this picture on Facebook...I thought it was paint worthy. I'm posting photo and painting side by side because the sky looked so unreal.  I'll send it to them as soon as the paint dries...hope they like it.

Can't stop painting these yellow hibiscus!

I have a bunch of these yellow hibiscus bushes in the yard so I always have subject matter.  Trying them with the dark background.
