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.
Yes, GG and I attended the great Fred Oldfields birthday bash and what a celebration. Senators, Business people, children and fellow artists. I do not tell an untruth in saying that there had to be at least 1000 plus people at the dinner held at the Fred Oldfield Museum in Puyallup, Washington. Many toasts, music and proclamations such as making March the Fred Oldfield month and many more. With a backdrop of Fred's paintings from 1930 until now we were given his history in the arts down through the years. What a gentleman as all agreed, as the hall was filled with love for this man. Happy Birthday Fred.
The photo is Julie Quesnell and GG Pearson celebrating.
This picture is special because it is the only collage that I have ever done. This picture is also special because it is of a very special person, a great Western artist and a great man Fred Oldfield. GG and I are attending the celebration of Fred's 90th birthday the 29th of March which will be held at his Western Heritage Museum in Puyallup, Wa. We are supposed to bring something red such as cards or anything to put up on the wall and I wanted to do something unusual for this occassion. I will tell you all about it when I get back the 30th of March. A gala affair.
We all love the wide open spaces on our rangelands. What fun to be able to ride out on the prairie with no fences, houses just you your horse and dog and nature. This picture will be shown in the Western Reflections Art Show to be held at the TRAC in Pasco, Wa. May 9th, 10th an 11th, 2008. I will be getting ready for this show with many new pictures.

This image is a commission and I had such a good time painting this little guy. The alpaca is such a lovely animal and I can understand why people fall in love with them. The Northwest Alpaca show will be held in Pasco, Wa. at the TRAC on April 26th and 27th of 2008 and to attend is to see beautiful animals, different breeds and different colors.
The reason for showcasing the Alpaca paintings is that I will be attending an Alpaca show at the Trac in Pasco the 26th and
27th of April. I will be attending as a vendor and will be showing commission paintings, cards, note cards and etc. This show will be the 14th Annual Northwest Alpaca Showcase. Alpaca Ranches, handlers, and vendors from all over the Pacific Northwest. Over 450 alpacas, from about 200 ranches will be on display and will compete for awards and prestige in this nationally-certified show. What an exciting time for all who love this unique animal.
