Alaska Airlines Plane in Maui
Alaska Airlines Plane in Maui

Painting while waiting for my flight home in the Maui airport. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish it in time, but luckily (for me!) two separate people were late for the flight and Alaska held the plane for them. When I got home, I shared this sketch on social media, Alaska Airlines liked it and shared it on their social media. It ended up being one of their top 9 most like images for 2016 and I won round trip plane tickets anywhere Alaska flies! We went to Costa Rica! 

This image was also featured in the February 2017 Alaska Beyond magazine.

Riverfront Park, the jewel of downtown Spokane is currently under construction and being given a lot of updates. I can't wait to see the historic Looff Carousel installed in the new carousel building. I sketched this across the street as welders worked on the roof.

Sketched on location at Urban Eden Farm as part of my Artist's Eye on Spokane Project. Volunteers and employees of the farm work to weed a bed of beets so they can grow to market size. My little stool sunk in the wet ground between the rows and the weeders were working so fast I had to get up and move down the row to follow them twice!
