Blue Mountains - Southern Colorado

Blue Mountains -   Southern Colorado

8x6in  oil on canvas panel   $125.

The season's dead grass and weeds
form intricate patterns of muted colors
against the backdrop of beautiful
blue mountains.

Artist Note.

I lived in Denver for 8 years and really
enjoyed the beautiful scenery all over
Colorado. The grandeur of the Rockies
knocked my socks off, but I often
discovered my heart beating faster with
the closer, more intimate beauty of the
patterns created  by the weeds...
or water skimming over a rock.

Quiet Pool

Quiet Pool

6x8in oil on canvas board 100.

I painted this from a photo I took in Colorado. Before I started this painting I pulled up my memories of the place. Only when I could remember the warm sun, birds chirping and the sound of the small waterfall gurgling softly into the pool, did I start to paint it. I think it is important (for me anyway) to recall the emotion I was feeling at the beauty of the scene and try to impart it into the act of painting.
