This beautiful bear passed through my summer outdoor painting studio very early this morning…
Love to see our Lake Tahoe bears!

July is peak wildflower season in the Sierra…y’all… it’s time!

The wonder of it all…

Probably Napa weekends are the West Coast equivalent

New to me… seeing so many this year

A little summer snow flurry!

Lupine and wild roses,
earlier today at Tahoe…
Now it’s snowing! ❄️🤷🏼‍♀️
Happy Summer! 😊

Ugh.

Maybe this wind event (before cool front,) will blow all the pollen down. It’s a lot right now!

Sierra Nevada wildflower season is here!
(At the lower elevations so far… still plenty of snow up high!)
Purple asters are some of my favs and I’m giving away a print from this oil painting series.

Have you been out on a wildflower hike yet?🌸

World Bee Day
(My lawn is gone… cultivating yarrow, which is native to the Sierra and pollinator friendly)
This painting is a Sierra wild rose with a beloved bee:

Thank you all so much for your input! 😊

Which is your fav?
Tahoe Love “A” or “B” ??
I’ll be ordering prints and merch (t-shirts, totes, baseball hats, stickers and more,) of one of these “Tahoe Love” paintings.
It will help me so much to have your input.
And good news: a percentage of sales will be donated to child oriented nonprofits💙

(If you don’t love them, dig them up or use boiling water on them. No need to use cancer causing “round up.”)
