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

I also maintain a studio blog which is looser in format. Check me out there to see what else I am doing:

Hillside Study 2


Hillside Study 2
5" x 7"
Acrylic on hardboard
sold

I live in an area of Valley Springs called Rancho Calaveras. This painting is a view of the back of my land looking out towards highway 26. This part of town was created in 1967 when several ranches were combined by the Boise Cascade Co. Our house is located on a 3 acre tract which is typical of our street. My neighbor tells me that as a little girl she played on the land where my home currently stands. Lake Dennis is just down the street from us. Our area is rich in oak trees and the beautiful rolling hills and mountains characteristic of CA gold country.

The link is here for the information on Valley Springs, compiled by Sal Manna at The Society For The Preservation of West Calaveras History Group.
