Welcome!

Welcome! This blog will chronicle my efforts to document, through my artwork, the landscape and the buildings around me. I hope to learn about the history of the beautiful place in which I live and to share that with others through sketching, painting, and writing.

Buy my artwork! I maintain a website where all of my affordable artwork can be viewed and purchased easily. The site is here: Libby Fife Fine Art

Lake Hogan is just a couple of minutes away from where I live. I like to go there during the winter and spring when there aren't a lot of people around. There is definitely a season for boating and camping which are the primary activities that people engage in so I try to go when it isn't crowded. In most instances you can walk right down to the water if you like or get up higher to obtain a different view of the lake. Fiddleneck boat launch is attractive for me as a spot to sketch because of the different views. This particular view looks across a slice of the parking lot, down the launching ramp, and out to the water and mountains beyond.To learn a little about how Lake Hogan was begun, I went to the Wikipedia article here. It is run by the Army Corp of Engineers and is a man made dirt bottom lake bed.
