Colorado



 A Great Trip






Durango, Colorado
6x8 plein air oil


We had a wonderful trip to Colorado, our favorite vacation destination.  Every time we go there we try to see things we haven't seen before.  Every where we go there are new and beautiful things to see.  This scene was along a bike path next to the Animas River.  A perfect spot to paint.

Iris Time


The Iris beds at the Botanical Gardens were in full bloom last week when I met some friends for a beautiful day of painting.  The sun was positioned like a spotlight on all those lovely flowers.

Spring has Sprung!




Early Spring

Spring Hill
8x10 plein air oil


I was attracted to the back lit blossoming trees on this hill at Faust Park.
A beautiful sunny day, no wind, no bugs just pure painting joy.

Kirkwood Park




After the Flood




plein air oil 8x10

Park Bridge


We've had so much rain and flooding in our area it has been hard to get out to paint.  When we did get a sunny day I took advantage of it.  It's hard to believe this small creek was flash flooding almost up to the bridge just the day before I painted this.  It looked like the Colorado river then instead of this gentle peaceful stream that it normally is.  So glad I caught it on a beautiful sunny day.

Early March


First Signs of Spring


sold
Early Spring
8x10 oil

I just finished touching up this plein air painting that I did back on March 8th at Bee Tree Park.
Spring was interrupted by a cold snap that put an end to the Forsythia blooms and others that had just started to show their colors.  I'm glad I was able to get out to paint this when I did.
