Christmas Season in Pagosa Country

Merry Christmas from Pagosa Country..hard to believe tis the season already. We have a little snow, but not like last year. Actually we have been blessed with a fabulous Indian Summer and warm fall, which made up for our unseasonably cool summer. Gardens made but they were late..I was still picking tomatoes in October.

Posted here is a new painting of a bob cat on Amethyst Sage. I really enjoyed painting him as he just blends into the stone. I got to keep him around the studio for a few days before he embarked on his journey to Jackson Hole Wyoming.

This a new venture in my art portfolio..prints on my rock paintings. This piece featuring gray wolves was done on Chrysocolla. I photographed it, scanned in and cropped to fit into a 5"x7" mat, ready to frame. It retails for $15.00. I have a full line of prints on my http://www.etsy.com/yourshops/benja22. It has been a fun time creating this shop which I have titled Peace of the Rock Wildlife Prints..check it out.

Our other bus Living Relaxed Lifestyles is doing okay..takes lots of time and work to build an internet business..but also lots of challenges and fun along with it. I found a great line of bird feeders, bird houses and table top water fountains that we feature along with the Solus Sleep Aide..needless to say I indulged in some new bird feeder as we have lots of Black Capped Chickadees and Nuthatches as well as Stellar Jays. We really enjoy back yard birding and it is fun and relaxing. Here is a couple of new paintings on Chrysocolla of a chickadee and nuthatch..these are also available in prints..








Life is good in Pagosa Country as we have prepared for the winter months a head..Seed catalogs are already arriving and I know that as the snow blankets our landscape, life is growing and spring will arrive with new hope as will 2011 with its unknowns and doubts and fears..but remember to take action, look life squarely in the face and most of all look to the Lord for his game plan, not yours..He is the best CEO.

Take care and God Bless you all...

FALL IS IN THE AIR

Here are three new pieces. Have enjoyed painting these .

We have lots of ducks and geese on the wing since the weather has changed. Definite indicator that fall is here. We are being blessed with a marvelous Indian Summer. In fact gardens are still growing.

We have little blue birds that sometimes winter here.. and lots of wonderful fluttering chickadees which have become one of my favorite birds to feed.

I have update my profile, and stand corrected this evening by my Grandson Aaron who emailed me that I needed to change the number of grandchildren, and also great grandchildren.

Have a good evening...and God Bless...check out my new website www.reflectionsonstone.com and also www.livingrelaxedlifestyles.com. We have lots of new and innovative ways to live relaxed...
