Title: Cool Lair Day Artist: Tracy Haines Medium: Acrylic on 140 lb heavy watercolor paper Size: 2 1/2 x 3 1/2  (Standard ACEO size) Spring is my favorite season for painting at Lair of the Bear in Colorado.  The golden yellow glowing willows seem to shout for pure joy against the melting snow. The streams run high and very blue this time of year: just a gorgeous array of colors for the painter!

Blue Streams is a small 5x7 acrylic on canvas panel study from Lair of the Bear. I am reworking a similar scene as a very large painting.  This study was a re-working of the larger first attempt- changing a few shapes and structures for a better over all design.

I found this lovely scene on a drive in the early spring from Breckenridge towards Fairplay.
It just sold on eBay. It is a 16x20 oil painting. I can't get enough of the willows against snow. The warm orange- green of the background trees frames the focal point nicely.

This is my first ACEO (art "trading card"). It is a 2 1/2x3 1/2" acrylic on 140lb watercolor paper.  Thought I would try this on eBay and see how things go.

 I start all my auctions at a dollar.  I am following the advise of an artist who did this. I hope to give it a year then re-evaluate things.

Those who live
in Colorado know
the beauty of willows
against fresh fallen snow.

This quick 5x7 acrylic on watercolor paper sketch is, of course, yet another from the 'never disappoints', Lair of the Bear.
(Where else, right?)
And why not?  When a painter or photographer, or landscape appreciator, finds a spot she loves, why not go back and back.......

This will be up on eBay at 5 pm on 3/3/14.  If you would like to bid, search EB43 on eBay.
