Artist, paint in oils, rock climber?

[Scott Ghiz]

Hi there. My wife and I are fighting over what kind of art work to
place in the family room. She wants something like an abstract
portrait (BLEECH!). Of course, I'd like a nice, original oil painting
of Yosemite, the Gunks ridge (YES), or something with an obvious rock
climbing flavor. Preferably somewhere I've put chalk to stone. I'd
love an oil from the perspective of lying on my back at the base of
Yellow Wall and looking straight up and out those roofs, which is my
normal perspective from that area in the Gunks.

Any artists in the rec.climbing world who want to discuss this or have
some art in inventory that match my whims? If so, please contact.

I'll be in the Gunks Memorial Day weekend with every other goobus(1).
The difference, I'll have a big hammer and lots of rock destroying 3/4
angles and 'heads. What do you guys think of a bathook ladder just
left of Doubleissima? Who needs Ridiculissima anyway ;)(2)

Thanks!

become during my absence from rec.climbing. I'll have one or two of
my kids with me and not a hammer in sight. On second thought, maybe a
hammer would be OK.

Why you low down dirty....what...??? Oh, this was just a test...10-22

Welcome back dhuuuude, same place, lot of different faces, but they all seem
to have the same propensity to bicker (snicker, snicker...).

Ratzzz...(Ohhhh, the paintings....hmmmmmm, I'll have take the standard
trademarked response "It depends". Personally, I'd go with what the misses
wants and just keep a wallet size oil in the back pocket, will make life a
little easier in the long run...)

Hey Scott! Welcome back for a surf...things have changed a lot since the
medium-old days when you were here.

Scott. I am a watercolor painter in my spare time (ha!). I do comissions
and I also have a number of pieces. How about a climbing abstract or
still life?

Recently Dave (AKA Hardman Knott) posted a post entitled "is Hardman
Knott and artist?" To taunt him, I emailed hinm a cpuple of my climbing
related pieces. He's very kindly put them on his web site (thanks Dave).

These are quite large, 22 X 30 unframed. If you like what you see, email
me and I'll send you a link where you can look at more of my stuff.

If you like stained glass,
check with Barb Fredette in Joshua Tree / Yucca Valley.
Some of her stuff is in the Crossroads Cafe.
I don't know if she has a catalog or digital pix.

Hey, I know that argument

I will vouch for Sue. I own two of her paintings (actually one
painting and one monoprint), bought another one for a friend and
commissioned one for my Dad's 60th birthday. All are wonderful. And
my boyfriend is either wise enough to like them or wise enough to know
that there are certain pieces that he does not get to veto.

Hey Sue,

These are really nice. Do you have any other examples of you work up
on the internet anywhere?
