If you subscribe to the blog and read the email on your phone, the photos might not show up. (Some people get them, some do not; it isn’t a problem I know how to solve.) You can see them by going to the blog on the internet. It is called cabinart.net/blog, and the latest post is always on top.
Here is another new Mineral King oil painting of an old subject, the Honeymoon Cabin, which is a museum for the Mineral King Preservation Society. It was in a state of rough first layer for a few weeks, and then suddenly July happened, which is when sales pick up at the Silver City Store.
Chop-chop, Central California artist!
8×10″, $125 (+sales tax), probably underpriced, quick, get it before I raise my prices.
I looked again at this painting of Sawtooth, which has been hanging for awhile as I mulled it over before putting it on the scanner.
While flipping through my photos, I ran across one with my favorite yellow wildflower, Bigelow Sneezeweed (terrible name for a delightful bloom). I said to myself, “Self”, I said, “Why not?”
If this 6×18″ oil painting with its radical addition of yellow flowers doesn’t sell, I can always paint them out. I am 62 years old, self-employed, experienced in all subjects Mineral King, and I get to do what I want to my paintings.
Any questions?

My favorite art subject!
The Honeymoon Cabin looks very nice, Bear Skin included = good. Shadows on the roof = nice touch. My only comment is that the flag needs to be larger. That’s the first thing I noticed, anyway. But I’m an audio & fiber artist, so what do I know?
Sharon, you are a patriotic audio and fiber artist. If the flag was larger, it would be easier to paint, but wouldn’t look as realistic.
