This little 6×8 oil painting represents the first of many I hope to do as little studies for larger studio paintings from the Long Ride North. This is the view of the North Saskatchewan River Valley from a picnic area at the Sakatchewan River Crossing in Brithish Columbia between Banff and Jasper. What impressed me with this scene, as did …
Well, it’s almost been a month since we returned from our Long Ride North and I’ve been thinking about the Peace River in Alberta, Canada. For those of you just tuning in, my wife Kathy and I and her brother Tim and his wife Donna rode our motorcycles to Alaska and back. Kathy rode with me. Tim and Donna …
Here’s a 9×12 oil painting of the Red Roofed Gazebo I did at the duck pond at Baldrich park in Montrose a couple of Sundays ago. Since I didn’t get any painting done on the Long Ride North I’ve had to get right back into to since we’ve been home. The above photo is of the painting with the frame and the …
In last nights post I said we had traveled 3279.8. I was tired. It should have read 8279.8. Thanks for the understanding. I will say that it was quite nice to wake up in my own bed this morning.

Here we are in wonderful Montana just on the edge of the Blackfoot Nation. We crossed into the USA yesterday on the return from our Long Ride North and spent the night at West Glacier. Three times, in years past while in the area, we have tried to do the Going to the Sun road over Glacier National Park. Once …
We are camped in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada this morning. When we left on the Long Ride North, Jasper seemed to be such a along way off. Now that we are here again on the way back home in the closing days of our ride, we are thinking that it is close to home even though we are over …
This morning I mentioned we should be in Prince George tonight. Well we didn’t quite make it. We are about 60 mile shy in a small town called Vanderhoof. I had to get an oil leak looked at in Smithers earlier and that set us back about an hour. All is good with the bike however. I got the oil …
