Introducing the series Road Trip 2007

My cousin and I have traveled life together since we were children. We spent summers on her parents ranch where we ran barefoot in the sun, shared all our secrets and giggled under the covers at night until our mothers told us to hush up and go to sleep. They were still telling us the same thing to our teenage years. And so it continues. She has just returned from a trip to the East Coast, cross country from ocean to ocean and I have "traveled" with her via e-mail and photos. I would like to share her trip with you as she shared it with me. I hope you will enjoy my paintings of the Road Trip With GG as much as I have. Yes, we still share our secrets and giggle into the night. Some things will never change.

OPA Paintout in Maynard Dixon Country


Through the Thunderbird Foundation, Oil Painters of America sponsored a four day three night paintout. GG and I drove to Mt. Carmel in Utah and stayed in a neat little place called Mt. Carmel Motel. We could elect to paint in Dixon's studio or go out and paint plein air in the beautiful surrounding Southern Utah landscape. Of course we painted outdoors and we had beautiful weather and marvelous scenery. GG took 300 + pictures so there will be many paintings in a series after my ocean to ocean series.

I will be happy to get back to my painting daily so keep watching. I will be putting Utah paintings in every once in awhile.

Happy Trails from Joanne & GG
