2006

Jamie continues to paint from the back of her Ford pickup truck. She also works from her canoe and from afoot hiking with her dog. A long running series is the John Deere Series that Jamie sketches from the seat of their John Deere 4030 haying tractor. Many modes of transport take her to secluded places with unique views that allow for fresh plein air paintings. In the spring of this year Jamie was accepted into the Copley Society of Art In Boston, Massachusetts. She has been painting small pieces for the Small Works Shows.
