One Colorado Evening

View from Chatfield Bluffs. The painting resulted from several studies based on a commission from a realtor for the realtor's home buyer. This was a view from the buyer's new backyard.

Light the Night

Same evening, different location. I let Nick drive me around in the jeep while I took pictures. He's 12, but a good little driver out on the country roads. I got to drive a jeep on country roads when I was 12, too.

Night Sky Near Cabin

This is one of several night sky studies. It is good to stick to a theme until there is nearly nothing more to say, or until an artist gets bored....

Here, I changed the clouds, played around with the line of trees interfacing with sky and tweaked the color showing through the bark, which was the element that attracted me most to this scene.

Backlit Eve ll

This is another study from a theme I'm still working with and learning from. I find it very helpful to stick with one subject and work it over and over, adding nuances, changing color, value , size and other elements. It's fun, and a great learning tool, too. Painting is a life long process - there is always room for improvement.

Until Next Time

As we leave the cabin to head back to the city, this view off Antler Drive always gives me pause; it's hard to leave the peace, quiet and beauty of the countryside! Oh beautiful for spacious skies......I love this great country!

Warm Against Cool

Fern reluctantly joined me on a bike ride along the Platte River on my new townie. Reluctant because he thought the basket, seat,tassels and bell ( which has a very nice tone that begs to be rung often) were a bit over the top. This scene brought us both to a quick halt! Colorado is endlessly gorgeous. We are on a perpetual vacation living here.
