About the author: I begin my watercolor paintings with an idea and a drawing. I build the painting layer by layer, drawing lines and shapes, looking for rhythm and feeling. My color sense is a reflection of my childhood in New Mexico fused with colors of my home in the Northwest. My goal is to go beyond the surface to find joy, wonder and a bit of mystery. I have shown my works in galleries, juried, group and solo shows in Washington, Oregon, Montana and New Mexico. My paintings are in private collections in the west, New York and Norway.To view examples of Peggy's work or to make contact with the artist, please visit her listing at the Southern Oregon Artists Resource.To Draw, To Sketch, Drawing, Sketching, A Drawing, A Sketch. I’ve been thinking about the difference between the act of drawing and sketching. And, I’ve been considering the finished products: a sketch and a drawing.

Nature Sketching & Journaling – Table Rock Hike Saturday, May 6, 2017, 9:00 a.m. at Lower Table Rock The iconic Upper and Lower Table Rocks—formed seven million years ago by a volcanic eruption—are prominent reminders of the rich natural and cultural heritage found in the Rogue Valley. For thousands of years the Takelma Indians called Table Rocks their home, and early settlers hiked to their summits in long skirts and full suits. Today more than 50,000 people each year connect with nature and history while walking their trails. These “Islands in the Sky” are designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern and an America’s Great Outdoors site to protect their diverse habitats, expansive views, abundant wildlife and a wealth of wildflowers, including the extremely rare Dwarf-wooly Meadowfoam that grows nowhere else in the world. Join a couple of scientists-turned-artists for a hike and exploration of art in nature Continue reading Nature Sketching & Journaling – Table Rock Hike Saturday, May 6 By Sarah Burns, 136 contributed posts

The work I'm most proud of shows life as I see it: fatally flawed, but amazingly beautiful. See Sarah's listing at the Southern Oregon Artists Resource to learn more and make contact. I went to Paris for the first two weeks of May this year and my trip was entirely focused on studying art. I went to the Louvre six times – not nearly enough.

Back to School with Kinesiology at Ashland Institute of Massage! My ongoing obsession with knowing specifically the origin, insertion, action and shape of muscles has led me to take a rather in-depth kinesiology class. Over 100 class hours, plus out of class study time will keep me busy til April. And, of course I’m translating a […] Continue reading I Heart Kinesiology! By Sarah Burns, 136 contributed posts

I had a great time painting in rainy weather a few weeks ago – Pompadour Bluff, a notable rock formation just outside Ashland, OR. They are separate paintings but were done in the same scale, from the same place, so they flow together.

This pear packing plant by First, Colver and C street is a great painting location. Just a few blocks from my house, I run past it several times a week and keep seeing more good vantage points to paint from. This is a warm up, I’m getting my feet wet for the outdoor painting season.
