Classic Truck/Bike/Dog
This is something you see a lot where I live. We are blessed with lots of trails, so you can load your truck with bike, pack, dog, etc and be on the trail in minutes. The black dog here is Lucy, the best trail dog you ever hope to meet. She could not contain her excitement when we got to a trail-head, and would leap from the vehicle.

Salmon
This is a Coho Salmon, based on the journal entry of Meriweather Lewis from 1806. Maybe you've seen it. Lewis and Clark camped right by where my home is, and that knowledge fills me with awe. It is a sketch of the salmon (which he called the White Salmon Trout) and some of the text from that entry.
This is dye, hand screened and painted on certified organic cotton.
Colors are black, aqua, sea glass and orange.
I've already washed and dried it, so its ready for use in your home.

Because it is a hand-made item, there is a touch of variance in each one. Me, I'm charmed by this.
Quail Covey
I have a covey of quail who come through my yard each day. I know they eat my lettuce and tear up my garden a bit, but I don't care. I love how they wander in a group and run at an angle with that silly topknot leading. I've given them a bit more color than they really have, but I think they'd approve of my rendering.

Mount Adams
This is Mount Adams, in Washington. Sure, I live in Oregon, but I can see this from my garden, so I love it as much as its sister mountain, Hood.
The foreground is painted with wildflowers: paintbrush and lupine. It's a little splashy, like a watercolor.

Blueberries
I spend a lot of time at farmers markets. One of my favorite things is when people sample fresh fruit and realize that it tastes SO MUCH BETTER fresh than from the grocery store, after it's been shipped from who knows where. Their faces light up. This is a painting I did of a top-down view of 9 pint containers, one of which has been sampled.

Lavender with Beehive
My kids gave me a beehive for Mother's Day a few years back. I joined a local bee club and started learning what I had to do to support the family of 10,000 bees that I was inviting to live with us in the garden. They need lots of flowering plants--for three seasons, if you can do it. They need a simple water source. That's about it. I open the hive only a few times a year just to check that everything is ok. But I watch them every day. There is so much excitement. My sister-in-law and I sketched this Lavender and Beehive in the height of summer, when the lavender was going crazy.

Succulents
On a winter's day where I live, we can head to the local nursery to sit in the greenhouse and enjoy a cup of tea. There are lots of big and little pots of succulents there to cheer you up. I sketch them from time to time.
I keep playing with the color of the pots. Sometimes they are orange-brown, sometimes not. Let me know if this troubles you.

Gratitude
This is as close as I get to a seasonal towel. Across the top of the towel it says, 30 Days of Gratitude. I try to list three things I am grateful for each morning. It is supposed to lessen anxiety. I find that it puts me in a much better frame of mind.
I've painted the leaves in a lovely sage green and avocado green. The little berries are bright red.

Cheerful Chickens
I call this towel "cheerful chickens." Back when my daughter was in 4H, she raised a whole flock of yellow hens. We sat outside and watched them run around the yard. It was our delight. We gave them the old fashioned names of the ladies who worked at our library --Agnes, Ida, Vera and Enid, etc.
