First Show 2016

"Bud" watercolor

"Nymph Lake" pastel
Both of these paintings are currently hanging at the Cultural Arts Council Gallery in Estes Park, Colorado. "Nymph Lake" is a pastel landscape of Longs Peak with the Keyboard of the Winds over a snowy Nymph Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.  "Bud" is a new watercolor  of a young moose that I had fun painting.  I am honored to be invited to hang paintings in this gallery in the Colorado Rockies through January 2016.

"Snowy Wishes"

"Snowy Wishes"
I painted this little watercolor "Snowy Wishes"recently.  A friend taught me a watercolor technique for painting aspen trees years ago and I included a cheery snowman in this version. You start out with playing with quite a bit of masking tape and minimal drawing.   Sometimes; Many times actually-it's quite healthy to just play with your paints.  You will probably find that you can be freer, looser and just have more fun painting.  This painting started as a demo in one of my watercolor classes and  I wound up using it for my 2013 Christmas card.  Prints and cards are available of "Snowy Wishes" through Fine Art America.

The Snowy Range

The Snowies oil 14" x 11"

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".

New paintings to The Grand Lake Gallery

Nymph Lake
I brought a new set of paintings to The Grand Lake Art Gallery in Grand Lake, Colorado this week. This painting, "Nymph Lake" is a 24" x 18" original pastel that is for sale there.  With a record breaking hot summer I thought looking at some fresh snow might be refreshing.  Nymph Lake is a short hike in Rocky Mountain National Park with a beautiful view of Longs Peak and the Keyboard of the Winds.

Meditation

Meditation
This is a brand new pastel painting for 2012.  "Meditation" is 7.5" high x 18" wide with soft pastel on Wallis paper.   The scene is from a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado at Bierstadt Lake, a short but steep hike to this pristine alpine lake. Snow was falling at even higher elevations that day in autumn. When you reach a beautiful spot in the wilderness, it's good to take some time to meditate. This painting currently is for sale.

Autumn: Final Chapter, part 30

"Alpha" (oil/sold)
The leaves have changed and the wind is scattering them everywhere.  The Colorado mountains are having their first big snowstorm of the year.  It was fun while it lasted...  "Alpha" is part of a commissioned series I completed.   Wolves no longer run free in Colorado as they once did. For this image I needed to recreate a scene with a wolf in the winter with recognizable landscape from northern Colorado.  Although the original is sold, prints  and giclees can be ordered through fineartamerica.com
Thanks for following my blog!

Autumn with snow, part 15

Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness Trek


Maroon Lake
 These two oil paintings are 9" x 12" in matching gold frames with a liner.  They were both inspired by the same trip to the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness area in central Colorado.  The Aspens were at their peak color when a snowstorm dumped 18" of snow.  Seeing the contrast of gold and white was amazing.  For availability, please contact me.
