Art Show- Keeping the Rio Grande Grand

This is a plein air painting that I did from the overlook of the Headwaters of the Rio Grande above Creede- I painted this at 6:30 in the morning. It is 11x14

This is a plein air of The Alamosa River Canyon - this one was in the Nomadas Show in Santa Fe at Sage Creek Gallery. Size is 9x12

This is a studio painting of some aspen in the high country- I decided to make it more about design than realistic- Size is 24x30

This is a fun painting. I did this studio piece from a plein air I painted over in Sulphur Springs by La Veta- it is 24x24 and is called "A Colorado Vacation"

This is a big one- 24x36 called "Fall in the San Juans"- I was experimented with this one by starting with a dark background of purple and painting all of the negative shapes in light

I got back from Cheyenne, Wyoming yesterday and it was a good week- I will be posting pictures of paintings from that shortly. The Cheyenne show is not over yet though- the quick draw will be this morning and the art show will be tonight. I really hated to have to leave early and miss those events but I have another show in South Fork tonight - Keep the Rio Grande Grand to benefit land conservation.The paintings above will be in the show.
