A watercolor for June and Randy Jirone. It was their home in Salida for 35 years. 6 kids lots of grand children were raised there. I painted this for there new house warming present. It makes me feel like Iʼm in Salida.
My Grandmother, Eva Portlock was born in a tent city called Peppersauce Bottom, Colorado in 1901, on St. Patricks Day. It was a dusty dirty muddy barrio that was a melting pot of many nationalities of people, all trying to find work in the gold mines and the railroads. The community has been washed out many times and the ghost stories linger. This is my story and The Peppersauce Stitchin' Company has been my business for many years.
