Aspen Glen above Zapata

There is a beautiful small lake above the Zapata development and the road ends somewhere close to Zapata Falls.  There were so many different colors of green in this area that I should have named it study in greens.  It was a beautiful little area and it really was difficult to choose a motif to paint- there were just too many.  Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Wishing for Spring

I have been looking for any tiny bit of green in the landscape that I can but to no avail so I painted this small 6 x 8 last night. I just kind of made everything up- and it's about as green as I could paint it. I will still be searching for some signs of spring around here but until then , it will have to exist in my imagination.
