Virtual Reality, circa 1938

Visited the birthplace of the view-master, aka the Oregon Caves. The caves themselves were awesome and wonderous yet it was a small sign off to the side near the lodge gift shop that caught my eye. Apparently, the little château here was the birth place of the view-master and in turn affordable mass-market stereoscopic imagery. William B. Grubber met Harold J. Graves while staying here, Grubber…

Upper Sacramento River

Found twenty minutes to paint while passing though Dunsmuir on my way north to see the great American eclipse in Oregon. Forgot to bring ink so I’ll clean this up a bit later. Can’t complain, after six hours in the car with three boys just sitting by a river is bliss.

I used to go fishing on this stretch of the river with my dad, every year for opening day of trout season. Good times.

Woman in a Hat Shop

Went to the Legion of honor this weekend to check out the Degas, Impressionism, and the Paris Millinery Trade Show.  The show was great but then again I’m biased, I’m a sucker for impressionist paintings, hat and pretty girls and this show had all three. I was inspired to sit down and paint a little in ArtRage this morning, so here you go.
