Ope boy.
I painted this last year for a friend who lost her best boy. He was so loved and is very missed.

GUMBO! Ba bow ba bow! He is full of energy and love! Such a treat painting this little man!

A good boi living his best desert life!

Gryff is one of my favorite dogs! He is often found hiding in the closet or hanging out with his Mom. He is the best boy!

I'm still here! School, work, and life are keeping me busy. Art has been taking a little bit of the back burner for now in my life. I am posting a few earrings in my Etsy shop for Small Business Saturday. I hope to make a new trout series soon! Thank you for still following my art and I hope you are supporting the small businesses in your communities this Holiday season. Love to you all.

Hey you...yeah you... I see you... thank you! This is me ⬆️, yeah I'm awkward and don't do selfies well, but I am good at happy dancing. So thank you for supporting my small creations made with big love.
There are still a handful of earrings in the shop. You still have time to give the gift of handmade beauties. Free shipping all weekend!

/// PISGAH MAGIC ///
I painted this as part of my art challenge for dear . She was planning a trip back to our home in North Carolina, and unfortunately her plans were cancelled. I know so many people that have had to cancel honeymoons, vacations, work trips, birthday parties, baby showers, and so many other countless things in their lives. I know that we will all be able to enjoy these things again, but that doesn't mean we can't grieve them now. It is hard not seeing your loved ones and your favorite places you hold dear. It is lonely but we are all in this together.
I have decided to take it slow with my "art challenge". The whole purpose is to give back with my art to those less fortunate, and I can still achieve this without breaking my creative flow into such a timeframe. I am back to my full time job now, and I appreciate working that 9-5 more than ever. I don't know how to express with words what I feel for everyone that has lost their job, been laid off, on unpaid leave, on reduced hours, or all the other countless things you might be going through right now. I want to be able to show my love, gratitude, and art to be able to help.We are in this together.
To everyone that has participated in my challenge with sending me photos, thank you. You are helping people. I have been donating the proceeds that have been generously offered to a charity that is helping feed families out of work right now. We are in this together. .

SHOP UPDATE
I go back to my full time job tomorrow, so I wanted to do a small update beforehand. I hope you all are doing well. Thanks for your support as always. .

/// SHINE ON ///
Everyone could use a little sunshine in their lives right now. This pair is available in my Etsy shop. Link is in my bio.

/// AVALANCHE LAKE ///
This is Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park. This is one of and Liz's favorite places. .
Glacier National Park is definitely one of my favorite places too! Montana is just so gorgeous!

/// GREEN RIVER ///
This is one of favorite places. This is the Green River in Utah.The Green begins in the beautiful Wind River Mountains of Wyoming and spits itself into the Colorado River. Rachel and her husband went on a river trip with some of their friends down the Green last year.
I'm day dreaming of floating on that water looking up at those red cliffs and blue sky. .

/// IN THE PINES ///
It is nice to be back among the pines. I can't wait for the green light to go exploring again.
This time has allowed for a little SHOP UPDATE!!! These babes and a few others are up in the shop! Link is in my profile! Thank you all!

/// MAMA GREEN ///
Challenge 4
A view of Mama Green in her golden light from Fishtop. This is one of favorites places. I feel her words for Mama Green are beautiful and capture what this place means to her. "A place where I can always find myself again when I feel lost. Where I learned to kayak, first place I ever did a “long hike” way before I ever knew what the outdoor life was like, or before living in Saluda, and before I knew how nature and this Gorge could heal (me and my pups)💙 Grateful to be a river keeper of this great resource and thankful to have it in my backyard."
Thank you Erica!

Day 2 of my challenge.
This is one of favorite places, Dhaulagiri in Nepal. She visited there several years ago on a grand adventure. What an amazing trip that must have been! "The mountains were so wild and so stark and so very beautiful that I wanted to cry. I breathed in another wonderful moment to keep safe in my heart." – Jane Wilson

Day 1 of my challenge.If you didn't see yesterday's post go check it out.
This is Brody, and he was the best boy there every was. My dear friend Erin lost this sweet boy a short time ago. Brody had this way about him. He was sweet, mischievous, lovable, and he had these eyes that could melt your heart. He will be greatly missed by everyone that had the pleasure of meeting him. Rest easy Brody. .
Here he is in one of Erin's favorite spots in Steamboat, CO living their best life. She is a ICU nurse working on the front lines right now. Please stay home for her and all the other nurses and staff on the front lines right now. Thank you for all you do! .

/// Stay Home ///
As I sit here at home, I can't help but let my mind wander off to beautiful places. Places that inspire me, take my breath away, and remind me how small we all really are. Those are the important places to me. So, I want to take this next bit of quarantine and spend it purposefully. I would like to extend my art you.
This is how it works. Send me a quality photo of your favorite place you love. The important place you hold dear. It can be a home, mountain, valley, river, backyard, city street. I will sketch or paint it for you based on how I interpret it. All I ask is you cover shipping and repost it in your feed and stories. If you choose that you would like to pay me, I will donate all proceeds to a local organization helping a family in need at this time. I will choose one photo per day until I am able to go back to my day job. That's it! Send me a photo, stay home, and wash your hands💚

Thank you and much love!

/// CRESTED BUTTE ///
I know I have been MIA. Sorry about that y'all, but to be honest I needed a little break from insta and the overwhelming feeling it gives me to try and keep up. I spent the last few weeks instead skiing in Colorado, going to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, and then back to skiing in Colorado. I know what a life!? I will be the first to admit I am lucky and for the lack of a better term "blessed". I got to ski at six different mountains and walk around the streets of NOLA with my husband and some of the best friends I could ask for.
This painting here was a gift for a couple that are super important to me. Lauren and Jimmy are not only kind, thoughtful, great listeners, but they are so gracious. They welcomed us into their home for a week, and showed us around ski mountains, their town, and even had a kitten for us to snuggle.
This painting is the backdrop of the mountain they got married on in Crested Butte, CO this past summer. It was one of the most beautiful wedding events I have ever been to, and they put so much thought into the details. Details are something I love as an artist!
I write this to say I'm so thankful for my husband .inlo , my friends and Eric! You guys made these past few weeks the best!
Much love and gratitude!
-Becca

/// SNOOK ///

They are known for being a wonderful eating fish and game fishermen and women love them. .

/// BLUE RIDGE BROOK ///
This was a special one for me. My sweet friend asked me to paint something for her Dad's birthday. Joe is a talented man and a artist. He makes beautiful things from wood. He made me a bowl last year and I honestly take it everywhere with me. It is in our camper on all of our travels and after I make a pair of earrings I like to put them in it. I put them in there to look at them contrasting and dancing off of the beautiful wooden surroundings. I do this not only for the fact that it is beautiful, but I feel that it represents a gift from the heart. This is similar to the feeling I have with my art and earrings. It's not just a bowl, it is a thoughtful handmade work of art from someone I think so much of. Joe does a lot for land conservation and the beautiful places I call home. So, thank you Joe. I hope this brings you happiness everytime you look at it, like my bowl does ❤️.

These smaller rainbow trout earrings and a few other pairs will be up in my shop this evening.
Fish earrings are my favorite!!! I have a few species on my list to make in the future. Do you have any species requests? .

/// WESTSLOPE CUTTHROAT ///
Westslope Cutties have been on my list for a while now, and I like the way this first round came out. I plan on refining it a little more, but I'm digging it for now.
The Westslope Cutthroat Trout is Montana's state fish. They are named for the red slashes near their lower jaws. Their historical range was all of Montana west of the Continental Divide as well as the upper Missouri River drainage. This species has been heavily reduced in its range both hybridization with Rainbow and/or Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout, and habitat loss and degradation.
This is listed as a species of special concern in Montana.
I have seen a few of these beautiful fish in person, and have hopes of seeing more on the river. Proper management practices and increased public knowledge and concern will only further the future of this species. If you would like to help in preserving this species, please consider reaching out and donating to organizations such as
