Dixie Lee Anderson (D'Lee) pursued art while living overseas and came back to the States studying under several well-known artists and instructors in the Boise, Id. area. Dixie has painted in oil media and is currently studying watercolors with Roland Giampaoli, Paint and Draw School of Art. I find buildings to be intriguing painting subjects and challenging. Taking photos, learning the history and then recording the building by means of watercolor. Painting a variety of stuctures including mining buildings, old merchandise/general stores, churches, farm buildings, houses, saw mills, gain mills and landmarks. To capture this experience in painting structures I have traveled to Nebr., Joseph, Or. and different areas in Idaho. My other works include floral, landscapes and pen & ink. I attempt to capture the spirit of beauty that God created, in all of my work.
