Here it is folks, the final! It took me a bit longer to post because we were crazy busy, but it’s ready to go.
The Fellers
Tomorrow night it will be auctioned to raise money for the Sierra-Cascade Environmental and Resource Fund. This non-profit educates the public, students, and teachers about the wise management of our forests.They provide scholarships for local students interested in careers in the industry. Many of the programs supported are aimed at educating the urban regions of California, about practices that assure the health of our forests.
My painting will be auctioned in competition with Mary’s Painting. She also created a painting and you can see it here, Off-Highway Hauler. During the auction folks will be bidding on both paintings at once. The high bidder gets to pick the painting they want. The other is offered to the second place bidder who can take it or pass on it. Then it goes back to bidding. I beat her last year and now she’s back looking to take me down!
THE FORESTER ARTIST 
Good Luck Tim…and Mary. I believe you are both winners!

Tim, thank you for visiting my blog. I am really enjoying your blog. My sister is out in Washington and served as a forest fighter for some time before poison ivy inhalation put her out of commission. I hope she can connect to your blog as well.
Good luck in tonight’s auction.

Thank you Holly! Sorry your sister had trouble with the poison oak. Occupational hazard. I remember from my fire crew days. Would love for her to stop by and thank you for visiting!
