Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - March 1, 2021 - Gosh, I love this art composition.  It embodies my three loves: biking, coffee and Boise!  This print of "Boise Coffee To Go" (24 x 30) was recently sent to a dear friend in Middlesex, N.C.

TRUNKS ART gets lucky with LUCKY PEAK!

Boise, Idaho - January 15, 2019 - "Lucky Peak" (#3/12) - How lucky am I to live within 10 riverside bike miles of Lucky Peak State Park, located off of Highway 21 just minutes from downtown Boise? Completed after 6 years of work headed by the Army Corp of Engineers in 1955, the associated reservoir has a drain valve (so to speak) which when opened in the springtime, sends 1,500 to 2,500 cubic feet (per second) of snowmelt water upwards of 150 feet into the air creating what is referred to as a rooster tail.  This effect is pretty awesome to witness as the water leaves the "drain opening" at about 60 miles and hour.  By shooting the discharge upwards, it reduces river erosion and sends all that crystal clear water into the Boise River for everyone to enjoy.

TRUNKS ART completes the last of the Boise Series: "A Boise State of Mind!"

Boise, ID - June 6, 2018 - "Boise State of Mind" (#12) - Nearly 40% of the 1.75 Million Idahoans live in the Boise-Nampa Treasure Valley.  It’s a busy place; and it’s getting busier every year.  So where do these folks go to play? Well, from my humble perspective, many of these fun-loving Boiseans make day trips to Stanley, McCall, Donnelly, Cascade, and Sun Valley.  With them, they bring an appreciation of all things natural and adventurous.  I guess you could call it a ‘Boise State of Mind.’

Boise, ID - April 12, 2018 - "Boise Brewfest" (#11) - One. That's the number of breweries in Idaho in 1984 (Sanke River).  Today, there are over 60, putting the gem state in the top 10 on a per capita basis.  Barrel production (barrel = 2 kegs) has tripled in recent years which isn't surprising to this observant sleuth since the number of annual FORT festivals in Boise now stands at 735. 😏

New Work From TRUNKS ART! "Zoo Boise" is the latest in the series.

Boise, ID - February 8, 2018 - "Zoo Boise" (#9) might not have been a reality if it wasn't for an adventurous, curious monkey who wandered away from a traveling circus in Mountain Home, Idaho, in 1916.  Eventually, that monkey and hundreds of other animals were brought to Zoo Boise in Julia Davis Park.  Today, I always look for the giraffes when I ride my bike through the park.  Springtime is imminent!

Latest in "The Series" from Trunks Art: "HOTEL BOISE!"

Boise, ID - July 3, 2017 - "Hotel Boise" - They came in droves to the Boise Basin in 1863 after gold was discovered here in August 2, 1862.  This created an immediate need for hotels, restaurants, stores, saloons and brothels.  The Idanha Hotel opened on January 1, 1901, the first day of the 20th century, and was designed by William S. Campbell, who picked the French-chateau style after visiting every modern hotel between Boise and New York.  It quickly became THE hotel in Boise and cost $125K to build and charged $2 per night!  Today, the iconic landmark serves as an apartment building that is believed to be haunted.
