Bitterroot Bill

Here's the first one of 2019.  Yep...another Mountain Man.  Along with Native Americans I just can't seem to get away from these guys.  No doubt because they can be so colorful and fun to paint.  Maybe fun isn't the right word.  How about challenging?  That knife sheaf took an entire day and a throbbing headache to complete.

As you've probably noticed, I've been pretty lax in posting over the past month or so.  I won't apologize as the cause is what we'll all face or have faced over time......Hitting the Wall!  Sometimes the desire to be creative  just seems to disappear.  It might last a couple days, weeks or a month or more.  I thought maybe our yearly trip out west to Jackson, WY in September, and a couple weeks of seeing whats going on in the Galleries and watching other artists at work in Quick Draw events in both Jackson and at the Buffalo Bill Museum would be the cure.  Nope!   Didn't work.  Fortunately, I think I'm finally coming out of the creative funk as the desire is starting to move back in.  At least I hope it does. 

So, as the New Year starts, let's hope we all are charged up to face it with new ideas and the will to get them done and off the workbench.  

All the best,  Lynn
