| "Winter at River Fork Ranch" |
We are faced with a drought in the California and Nevada areas. We here in the Reno area rely on the snowfall in the sierras to feed our rivers that come down the mountains into our valleys - for drinking water, watering landscaping and ranches and agriculture. Our Washoe Lake is almost completely dry! Lake Tahoe's waterline is very low and they closed the boat ramps at certain locations.
We have all been asked (in Nevada) to try to cut our water usage 10%. So, I have been manually turning our landscape water on and off, depending on the temperature.
Lately we have been having 2-3 weeks of clouds and showers and sometimes a good deluge. We are all doing our happy dances.
As a plein air artist, I am glad to have the excuse to stay indoors and finish up paintings in my studio. Above is a plein air painting I just completed. Below are some more:
