Tracy Haines original oil paintings on linen canvas plain air trees streams light Colorado landscapes impressionism

Title:  O'Fallon Park Artist: Tracy Haines Medium: Oil on linen canvas on masonite Size : 9x12 Unframed This painting was done en plein air on a beautiful spring day in the mountains of Colorado.  It was delightful to paint on such a crisp, fresh morning to the music of a swiftly flowing stream!

I ventured on a solo painting trip last fall.  Packed paints, dog and headed out in jeep.  I got up at dawn, drove from the cabin towards Buena Vista, then to a campsite on the Arkansas river.  I loved the first light.  Renoir ( Rennie) had a great time chasing off the cows that kept coming to see what I was painting.  This was the first of many paintings this day.  Great day!!!

I screeched my little ole jeep to a slipping, sliding halt as I drove up this pass from Como, Colorado towards Breckenridge.  Just loved the colors of those distant mountains!!  This 9x12 oil on panel was painted en plein air while I was precariously perched on the side of a road.  One false step backwards off the cliff  and bye-bye Tracy.  The average artist will indeed risk life and limb for a painting!
