This saturday as the annual Fall Arts Festival in Jackson, Wyoming. It is a two week event that has artists and art patrons filling the area. Saturday was the quick-draw event in the town park and here I am beginning my endeavors. Sharing canopy space with John Hughes and John Poon. Having 90 minutes this year instead of just an hour I attempted a larger painting of the Tetons with fall colors. the Painting is in gouache watercolor.

I am a little behind in posting this. Several weekends ago I participated in the Pioneer Museum Western and Wildlife Invittional Art Show in Douglas, Wyoming. This is the 20th year for this show and is to be the last year for this event. Attendance was great and they put on such a great show it will be hard to accept the fact that this is the last year.
For the second year in a row I won the Peoples Choice Award with my Oil painting, END OF WINTER seen here in this photo at the upper left of my display shown off my my Great Granddaughter, Evie Anna. The painting was also chosen for the Museum Purchase Award. The third time in twenty years this has happened for me. That is a wonderful honor. My sales were really great and my auction painting went very well as did my Quick-draw which by far exceeded all my expectations.

Saturday night was the annual Fund Raiser for the Chance Phelps Foundation and the Needs Of Dubois. My gallery pardner, Tom Lucas and myself contributed a 1 hour Quick-draw painting for their fund raising. Mine is a 16"x20" Gouache Watercolor painting of the Grand Teton. Oh. The Staff card. We had to wear that to get into the event as the second of two nightly concerts were about to start and that allowed us entry for the evening. All held at the Dubois Town Park. that itself is quite a place for the little town of Dubois. There were certainly a lot of people in attendance.

Torrey Creek with thawing ice. Of course it won't last.The weather across the country has seemed to have taken a break from the nasty stuff we have been experiencing the past several months. We here in the high country have also had good weather and I have taken advantage of that in the past week by taking off several afternoons and exploring the countryside.
I have posted those several outdoor adventures on my OUTDOOR ADVENTURES blog and invite you to check them out.

Last night was the annual Winter Carnival in Riverton, Wyoming that features a quick-draw and auction. This was my 45 minute guache watercolor painting framed up and ready for the auction. It did quite well in the auction and in fact was top money. It always makes one feel good to come out in one of these events. The 80 mile drive back home was not fun though as the first 35 miles was a raging hard to see blizzard at 25-45 MPH and the next 25 miles just slick with light snow falling. Getting into the mountains it was stars overhead and dry roads. That is Wyoming for you.

We only found one old fellow who had actually taken up morning residency inside the leanto shed. He seemed quite comfortable there and being named grumpy by Deb-we were quite willing to leave him where he was. If interested I have posted more photos of our trip in on my facebook page.
It was an interesting enjoyable morning. Even if the mountains were mostly obscured in falling snow showers.
