Indian Paintbrush, Ellsworth and Ione Nevada
This week I worked on a couple studies of Indian Paintbrush. I wanted all the focus to be on the flowers so experimented with painting the mountains solid colors and no pattern.
Zazzle has a nice selection of puzzles now in a variety of sizes with more pieces and updated cuts. Some with nice big pieces for youngsters, too.
Last weekend we went for a drive in search of Ellsworth, Nevada. It's in a beautiful area with lots of juniper trees tucked way out of the way in some hills
in the middle of nowhere near Gabbs . . . Sounds like something from the Twilight Zone.
We found a little cluster of cabins and it looks like people have been living here. They have a few signs up here and there including one called, "The Guilty Party" in a tree.
We came back through Ione, which still has a few residents. There is a
satellite cable dish on the side of one of the houses.
This was my favorite building in Ione and
quintessentially Nevada.
