I’m back in the saddle. Maybe it’s more accurate to say I’m in a new saddle. Today was my first official day of work at the Wyoming Tribune-Eagle. After a whirlwind of a week including a two-day move from Peoria to Cheyenne, it is finally time to get back to picture making. My first assignment was a portrait of Carleen Williams, a 97-year-old artist who has painted some 5,000 pictures. I shot a few looks of her in front of her paintings before she asked that I come down to her basement to see more of her paintings. I immediately liked a corner where several of her paintings were sitting on the floor.

Williams, a native of Lincoln, Neb., started painting when she was bed stricken with asthma as a small child. From her bed, she started sketching people. "Each day when the doctor would come, I'd have a new picture," she said.](https://www.brosher.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/20110111CarleenWilliams061.jpg)
