I painted this little house in my hotel room, too. It just came out of my head. It is actually the top of a bookmark. I just haven’t decided how I want to finish it.
This morning, I started on my first commission from the KC show. I went to Ellen’s house and took the reference photos. On the other 3 commissions, they wanted their flowers to bloom first and they are sending hi res photos. Ellen didn’t have to wait. She just told me to make everything bloom. I can do that!
About John Muir
American
naturalist John Muir is remembered as a passionate champion of the
natural wonder of Yosemite; he was instrumental in turning the land into
a national park. Born in Scotland in 1838, he immigrated with his
family to Wisconsin in 1849. He dropped out of college to walk 1,000
miles from Indiana to Florida. After falling in love with Yosemite, he
took a job herding sheep nearby. He developed the theory that the valley
was created by glaciers, which is now accepted as fact. He died in
1914.
