Mount Elbert is a 9x12 oil on linen canvas attached to masonite. This piece was done plein air.

Thrice I've tried to climb this 14er!  Each time we were forced to turn around and beat a hasty retreat. At one point we were a mere 30 minutes from the peak.  One day, perhaps. (although this ole body is starting to kick back against things like 14ers.....)

Title:  Aspens in Springtime Artist: Tracy Haines Medium: Pastel on archival Canson mi Tientes paper Size:  8x10 Unframed I was attracted to the gorgeous colors of the scene here and also liked the vertical light aspen trees against the parallel arrangement of bands of colors from the ground on up to the sky.

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!

Title: Breckenridge Fall  Artist: Tracy Haines Medium: Acrylic Size: 3 1/2 x 2 1/2  (Standard ACEO size) On this gorgeous, crisp, cool fall day I set up my easel and painted this sweet aspen tree.  It glowed against a sublime backdrop of deepening blue-purple mountains as the sun began to descend.

Title:  Neighbor Artist: Tracy Haines Medium:  acrylic on 6x6x11/4 inch wrapped canvas  Size: 6x6" Unframed :  This piece can hang on the wall from a nail as is, or can stand on a tabletop I see this view from my upstairs window each morning.  The light this day was just lovely. My work varies from impressionistic to occasionally expressionistic.   Expressionism seeks to depict the feeling of the place, pushing colors and values as needed to relate the scene as experienced by the painter at the time. On this occasion, I did not need to push color much, except in the foreground  lawn a bit to make the painting really "sing".

Title:  Beautiful for Spacious Skies

Artist: Tracy Haines

Medium: Pastel on sanded professional and archival Wallis paper mounted to foam core 

Size:  11x14  

Unframed

The colors of the landforms underneath the lovely night sky at dusk begged to be painted. This scene was found near our cabin in the Indian Mountain area near Como,  Colorado
The painting will be carefully sandwiched between two pieces of foam core, with glassine taped over the image.  The painting should be taken to a framer once you receive it and will need to be framed behind glass. I have shipped pastels in this manner without problems thus far.

I was attracted to the interplay between the tree trunks and yellow lit field.  The trees seemed to be in conversation.  The calligraphic quality of the foliage was interesting, too.
