It’s hard not to have favorites, but I do. I love both the “Grand Canyon” (left) and the Adobe Hut” (right). The landscapes are terrific, but I think they also represent the first leg of a nearly 2000 mile journey – one they’d either made before or possibly their first big adventure since Ethel’s disability. They took off from Boulder and headed for the Grand Canyon. Sometime en route or just after seeing this marvel, they must have stumbled upon the hut. And here’s something important: Selling these miniature paintings for seventy-five cents each is how they survived while on the road. Would you have had the cajones for that?! It takes a very special mindset, as well as a shared confidence in one another.
