Plein air paintings

Watson Lake Bookcliff

Renewal

Water Power

Upper Beaver Meadows

Poudre Trail
I recently brought in these plein air oil paintings at Centennial Galleries in Old Town Fort Collins, Colorado.
All of these were painted alla prima, this past summer and are reasonably priced.  I participated in the Paint the Poudre plein air event  2013 and also managed to paint a few days in the nearby mountains.  I'm finding that pallet knife painting and plein air work together well for me.  Some paintings have lots of impasto.

Just west of Laramie, Wyoming is a pristine alpine area called The Snowy Range.   The easy drive up to the 10,000+ foot high elevation takes you to some alpine lakes and granite cliffs.  The granite mountains are so white they look like snow in the distance.  The summer season is very short, but when you do hit it right the wildflowers are spectacular.  I've painted this area several different times and just recently painted "The Snowies".
