Day 203 Rock Formation


SSP staff person Cameron told me of the sacred site of the Paiute tribe, but, of course, I got lost looking for it. I ended up somewhere up in the mountains behind the reservation and painted this Rock Formation (watercolor and ink, 7 x 5").

Day 201 McDermitt Bluffs


The colors of the hills in McDermitt are very much like the colors of the hills in Yerington and my eyes were filled with the subtlety. Sitting in Harold, enjoying my free time from the junior high kids, I painted McDermitt Bluffs (watercolor, 5 x 7").
