I've been gone the last few weeks enjoying the last days of summer.  The first week of August, I spent on Canyon Ferry Lake at a quilting retreat.  Each year for several years now I have attended a quilt retreat with my friends on either Houser Lake or Canyon Ferry.  It was the most wonderful, restful, fun filled week you can imagine.  The second week in August I was registered for a Plein Air Oil painting class in Kalispell with Kathryn Stats.  Even though we were quilting, I took my paints to keep up my painting skills.  I did manage to paint two pictures.  The one I've posted was painted above the cabin where we stayed.  I wanted to give our host a memento in thanks for letting us use her cabin.  I hope she will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed her hospitality.  Canyon Ferry is just out of Helena, Montana.
