I am back from vacation visiting loved ones and doing a little hiking and exploration of Montana. Montana is gorgeous in the summer.

The Charles M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana was fun to visit. Russell was an epic western painter, whose art is a snapshot of life in Old West Montana in the later part of the 1800s. The museum also featured precious exhibits of historic photographs of native Americans. The Russell Museum displayed on an incidental wall an exquisite Bierstadt which took me by surprise. Theirs is a scene from the Sierra Nevada mountains which are quite a bit to the south and west in California. I was delighted to encounter this treasure in Great Falls.

I am working on updating JAMfinearts.com. The portfolio has to have a landing page with an index of series and similar types of art work. As it is, a visitor has to scroll too much.

I am also scrounging around for more salvaged mirrors. I will make more Canopy pieces and one more Lichen Pattern as they come in. Eventually, I will devote a wall in the house to the series and take an installation photo. The Lichen Pattern pieces will be listed on SaatchiArt.com. They are light and easy to ship.

I am weaving more green, fluffy, hyperbolic tiles to add texture to some of the mirrors in the canopy series.

I am also taking an Intro to Sustainability class to see if I want to invest in a certificate in that field.
