Now you'll see more about traveling in my FourWheel truck camper. Other than that I enjoy my 5 acres of meadow, redwoods, firs and willows; birds, deer, bears, and cougars.SandraHealyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00061533584880390892noreply@blogger.comBlogger69125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109828844582548553.post-73678137213348286482013-02-09T11:38:00.000-08:002013-02-09T11:38:21.551-08:00Home from the Pacific Northwet trip<div>

I got home Saturday evening having used all 7 settings of my windshield wipers on the way home, with frequent changes among them, all the day long. Leaving Crescent City I almost drove over the end of an intense rainbow. Today fortunately the sun came out so I could dry out the camper. </div>

Not much to report for Thursday: I just drove to Portland. Really, I should have stopped for a hike or something since the day turned out to be quite okay. But on the other hand I didn't want to drive into the city during rush hours. </div>

This Friday morning Susan and I and Millie drove over to Reed Canyon and did a hike in light to no rain. It was Millie's first time there and she had to sniff everything of course. Canada geese are way bigger than puppy. Susan's new EasyWalk dog harness works pretty well so Millie didn't do a lot of pulling on the leash. The leash is fastened to the front, so if she pulls it turns her sideways. We didn't see the otter, but there were various ducks. Buffleheads, and with iBird consultation another which I thought might be a ring-necked duck. Plus mallards of course. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think this bridge was the coolest thing I saw all day. How could the National Park Service allow something so non standardized? It was a nice beach too, with waves just roaring in and up the cobble beach. Too much water to look in tidepools though.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I drove up the north Quinault road stopping at the visitor center (closed as usual, sometimes they're open on the weekend</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">) for a walk around the rainforest loop. It was a nice one; I like the maples draped with moss. A side trail took me to a homestead which it looks like they're restoring. Unlike any other nature loop, this one actually had the booklets available so I got to read what all the numbered posts indicated. Like beaver felled trees though there are no beavers now. And a rushing stream that dries up in the summer. Hard to believe anything around here is ever dry. I was surprised to see another car in the parking lot when I finished but never saw another person.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Soon after that the road became dirt, crossed the river and became the South Quinault Road and I headed back towards 101. After passing about 3 closed campgrounds I finally found an open one where, what a surprise, I'm the only camper. There are some trails right out of the campground so I did the Rainforest Loop first. It was too dark to take good photos, but here's one of a stream where it goes under the road, as does the trail. There were a few other hikers in the rain, who I imagined were staying at the Quinault Lodge nearby; they had that bright clean enthused look of people out for their afternoon constitutional with comfortable accommodations waiting for them back at the lodge. I enjoyed the signs along the trail, each of which included identified animal tracks along the bottom, and many included Native American stories as well.</span></div>

First was Rialto Beach, which was mostly cobbles. I'd thought to walk north 1.5 miles to an arch, but it seemed like the waves were washing pretty far up the beach already and the tide was coming in, so I didn't go that far.<br />

Paying attention to my footing I almost stepped on an otter. It seemed totally unconcerned and just kept nipping off little shelled animals and crunching them up.

Hello all,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm on another little trip! After a 9 mile hike with Lauren in Prairie Creek State Park, I continued north, camping along route 199, and the next day arriving at Susan and Jody's place near Portland. There I met Millie, Susan's oh so cute miniature schnauzer puppy. We did some walks and I bought a new SPOT satellite messenger "Spot Connect". Then on to Karen and Gary east of Bellingham, WA. Likewise, some walks and also some trail clearing which I really enjoyed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Saturday I drove (including a ferry ride) to Olympic National Park, and camped at Lake Ozette. I talked to the ranger, wanting to find out the tide schedule, which he told me along with the news that the boardwalk is treacherously icy so yesterday a man fell and broke 4 ribs and had to be carried out which was difficult as the stretcher wheel kept slipping on the ice. He advised me to use creepers on my boots and use trekking poles, neither of which I have. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was 28 this morning but before getting out of bed I turned the furnace on so it was toasty. This campground is half flooded, and it's about a quarter mile to the outhouse. The nearer nicer bathroom is closed for the season. On the other hand, camping is free. </div>

I set off on the trail to Cape Alava, much of which was through forest, but sometimes it went through prairie areas. Yes indeed it was icy in spots, and when possible I walked next to it. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">First view of the ocean & Ozette Island. When I reached the ocean, first I went a bit north seeing herons on the rocks and also bald eagles and ducks. There were quite a few people camping, after all it's a 3 day weekend plus gorgeous weather, plus the tide is perfect for traveling the coast with low tide at midday. A young man was backpacking south about my speed so we were more or less together for awhile, but I found it very creepy and my opinion of him plummeted when I noticed he had a gun in a chest holster. I lagged so he got ahead.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">Cougar tracks were going in both directions along the entire 3 miles of beach I walked. People seen included some walking along listening to Simon and Garfunkel. Also a nice group of 3 men and a boy backpacking along looking at everything. The boy was trying to take home a big red and white fishing float that seemed bigger than him. Other tracks seen included a coyote, raccoon, birds, some kind of rodent, maybe a bunny and possibly a fisher or some kind of mustelid.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small; font: 12.0px Helvetica;">After 3 miles of beach, at Sand Point I came to the other trail back to Ozette Lake. Reportedly it was more treacherous even than the Alava trail, and so it proved. The boardwalk is shining with ice in this photo. The bad stuff wasn't continuous, but I had to stay alert for the 3 miles back. Again sometimes I walked next to the boardwalk and when on the ice was very careful.</span></div>

I hope to do some paintings inspired by the scenes seen.<br />
<br />
One fascinating place visited was a volcanic hotspot, Bumpass Hell. Instead of hiking there the usual route, I ascended the longer path from King's Creek. I was fortunate to arrive there early enough in the morning (not that early, about 10) that I had the place entirely to myself. <br />

I sold one of these carvings of the Bear and Fish which I call "Stream of Consciousness" so have started work on number 13. But I do have a finished one, in my <a href="http://www.sandrahealy.artfire.com/">Artfire studio</a> which is finished. <a href="http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/sandrahealy/1333886/grizzly_bear_and_fish_carved_and_painted_wood_sculpture__11/fine_art/sculpture/animal/wood">Grizzly Bear and Fish #12</a>.<br />

My work has been slowed by a back injury which renders me unable to sit for very long. But I hope to soon be healed and back to work.<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.sandrahealy.artfire.com</div>SandraHealyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00061533584880390892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109828844582548553.post-63500340723269529232011-06-24T17:40:00.000-07:002011-06-24T17:40:53.791-07:00Nature Note CardsHere is a collection of my recently created note cards.

It was done with an airbrush and is about 5 by 7 inches. I count 7 animals, am I missing anyone?<br />

The trillium is inspired by some photos I took of this flower in "my" backyard redwood forest a week ago. A couple years ago, one appeared for the first time, which I felt represented a recovery from the area having being logged twice.<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.sandrahealy.artfire.com</div>SandraHealyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00061533584880390892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109828844582548553.post-48701231264806106672011-04-12T20:08:00.000-07:002011-04-12T20:08:28.131-07:00Why the Woodcarving Life is painting not carvingI tried a few paintings on a whim late last autumn and it was fun, but Christmas was coming so my focus had to be on painting animal carvings not pictures. Then after the holidays it was time to restock my diminished inventory.<br />
<br />
So here it is April, I've reduced the size of my Etsy shop, my ArtFire studio is well supplied, and I even have some extras. To complete the scene, it's the Slow Time of Year. Not many sales.<br />
<br />
What a great opportunity! So I'm painting!<br />

Friday is my first show of my paintings, and I'm nervous and excited about that. Wish me luck!<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.sandrahealy.artfire.com</div>SandraHealyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00061533584880390892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109828844582548553.post-59808637737208790112011-04-09T15:38:00.000-07:002011-04-09T15:48:59.489-07:00Small Paintings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6daWQXF90Rs/TaDdO5-H4AI/AAAAAAAAASs/KsjM2izHaso/s1600/SP_RavenMoon.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="19" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6daWQXF90Rs/TaDdO5-H4AI/AAAAAAAAASs/KsjM2izHaso/s200/SP_RavenMoon.jpg" width="148" /></a><a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nWVMpLNpxjw/TaDed7ekSTI/AAAAAAAAAS0/7h4l9Y3wlHo/s1600/SP_Heron.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="20" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nWVMpLNpxjw/TaDed7ekSTI/AAAAAAAAAS0/7h4l9Y3wlHo/s200/SP_Heron.jpg" width="143" /></a><br />
<br />
These are some small paintings, each about 3 by 4 inches. I cut stencils of quail, raven, and heron, which I can reuse for different paintings, and then I improvise the background. They are primarily done using an airbrush, with a few additions. The airbrush gives a nice soft and dreamy look.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Previously I'd painted some art cards, the official size of which is 2.5 x 3.5 inches, which I find altogether too small for an original painting, though it's fine for a print. So these are a wee bit bigger. The painting is 3 x 4, but each is on a paper 3.5 x 4.5 so there's a 1/4 inch white border around, making them much easier to mat and frame. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The 2 photos with the forest background show the new design.<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.sandrahealy.artfire.com</div>SandraHealyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00061533584880390892noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109828844582548553.post-58013084817349032382011-03-27T10:03:00.000-07:002011-03-27T12:42:05.966-07:00Painting: Five Animals Hidden at Echo Lake<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n-9GxcKKjzE/TY9svPEZ2jI/AAAAAAAAAR4/rNoHA_fQDLI/s1600/AB15FiveatEchoLarge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n-9GxcKKjzE/TY9svPEZ2jI/AAAAAAAAAR4/rNoHA_fQDLI/s640/AB15FiveatEchoLarge.jpg" width="444" /></a></div>I mostly painted this 5 x 7 landscape with an airbrush on multimedia artboard, but also used art markers and colored pencil.

What do you think? Any and all suggestions are welcome! This is just an idea... I've edited it with some minor changes...<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>ARTIST STATEMENT</b><br />
<br />
We are Sandra Healy's animals and as usual she has dragged her paws about writing an artist statement, so we are doing it for her. We used to just include wood animals, and enjoyed her hands holding us while carving and painting, and we anticipated traveling to new homes around the world. <br />
<br />
But now we include some new friends! Sandra has applied the skills, used for airbrushing our delicate patterns, to create some flat paintings. We felt somewhat jealous of the landscape paintings which left us out, so when she wasn't paying attention, we sneaked in, hiding in the leaves, blending with the dunes, becoming like the trees. <br />
<br />
When people look at a landscape in the real world, they can't see all the life that is hidden there. Sandra's new paintings express that, and we animals are so pleased to be there, and hope humans enjoy searching for us.<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.sandrahealy.artfire.com</div>SandraHealyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00061533584880390892noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109828844582548553.post-34540720136793683122011-03-05T13:38:00.000-08:002011-03-05T13:40:46.712-08:00Echo Lake Hidden Animals Painting<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-B41JOeGpL54/TXKsvJB9AnI/AAAAAAAAAR0/u9lHalytREw/s1600/AB14EchoWPI_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" linkindex="17" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-B41JOeGpL54/TXKsvJB9AnI/AAAAAAAAAR0/u9lHalytREw/s640/AB14EchoWPI_5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>My latest painting, Echo Lake in the Trinity Alps of northern Califoria.

They have a monthly fee (currently about $10) but no fees to list, and they don't take a percentage of your sale price. They also encourage links into and out of the site, for instance to a blog or website. <br />

My latest painting venture is to paint backgrounds for my carving photographs. It's an interesting problem, since product photos have to show off the item, while the background is, well, in the background. So the paintings have to be fairly light, and not too detailed. It's been fun! I do need to paint more habitats.<br />

Well I think I have anyway. It might be fun to compare this with the previous post of the same artwork at an earlier stage. It's no longer an airbrush painting, but has to be called multimedia with the addition of marking pens and colored pencil. What fun this was!<br />

</tbody></table>I may do a few more details on this, but it's mostly finished. It's inspired by the dunes where the Mad River used to run; the river changes constantly and has abandoned it's old path for a new route to the ocean, leaving behind dunes and wetlands, with a bluff above. It's a great spot for wildlife. This painting was done mostly with airbrush, also using archival markers. It's 8 by 10 inches, on multimedia artboard.<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.sandrahealy.artfire.com</div>SandraHealyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00061533584880390892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109828844582548553.post-76893701186438092802011-01-07T15:42:00.000-08:002011-01-07T15:42:39.384-08:00Aardvark in Awesome A is for ArtFire CollectionMy work has been in many collections, but it's been awhile since I've included one here on my blog.

It's based on several photos I took in Alaska. We were always looking for caribou in the landscape. In this painting there are 5 caribou, and a ptarmigan. Can you find them all?<div class="blogger-post-footer">www.sandrahealy.artfire.com</div>SandraHealyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00061533584880390892noreply@blogger.com0
