Meet Boston Kirt Harmon

Boston was born Sept 24, 2011 to Kyle and Tiffany, their third son. Kaiden and Easton sure are proud of their little brother! He makes grandchild #22 for Maureen and I ... whew, they are really adding up! Another little buddy to take fishing with me someday! My dad has always claimed that the reason grandchildren and grandparents share such a special bond is that they share a common enemy! Enjoy ...

Birds of Summer




This is a four piece set of paintings depicting the beautiful little birds we see in our yard each summer. Because we literally live in the shadows of the Wasatch Mountains we see Mountain Blue Birds in our yard all the time. We also have had a nesting pair of Robins for the past several years that call our yard home. And the little wrens, what can I say ... they are active and have quite the attitude (as evidenced by their tails!). I had a blast learning how to paint these beautiful birds.

After President Uchtdorf's address at the last Women's Conference about "Forget Me Nots" I just had to put some in these scenes since I was painting them concurrently with the conference! Hope you enjoy them ... they are all acrylic on 12"x12" stretched canvas.
