Today in the studio, Verne talked with painter William Elston. Elston was born in Spirit Lake, ID, and attended high school for a time at Ferris High School in Spokane. He has traveled and studied around the country, and his paintings can be found in many personal and corporate collections. Two of his paintings below display Spokane's own Latah Creek in two different seasons, spring and winter. These paintings and others can be seen at Elston's upcoming show in Spokane, which is being held at Dodson's Jewelers starting tomorrow, September 25th.
