Anyway, enjoy Weekly Digest #3!

I love the landscape in Montana. On my very first western fire assignment I ended up in Hamilton, MT. We hiked 3 miles into the fire down a winding and sometimes steep trail. At the end we were greeted by a beautiful river and mountains. And of course the fire.

Maybe a little better on the figures. No idea. Don’t ask?

I was feeling prudish back then and made “Clothed” versions of some of my paintings using digital programs.

My first sunset painting. We used to live on the Trout River (for a year) and there were always great sunsets. I miss those sunsets. The apartments? Not so much.

Firefighting offered a ton of painting ideas back in the day. I’m still not sure my opinion on this one.

My first attempt at painting an animal. I have always like this one. Maybe because girafes are easy? I dunno.
