A Commission

Wyoming Pride Series

We were driving in Maine when I got the email from Beth at the Wyoming State Museum Store.  She needed 30 paintings for the Legislative trade delegation to take to Asia. Would I be interested?  With cell reception in the middle of Maine (we are traveling to the smallest town in each state)  I accepted the commission and mentioned my pastel pal Gail might also help.   I choose our Wyoming state flower, the Indian Paintbrush, which I have painted several other times. The image is the finished 5x7 pieces in four compositions delivered for framing.  Gail painted the Wyoming state bird, the Meadowlark.   The paintings are on the way to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan to be given as gifts.
