Bluff Lake

Denver Plein Air Painters met at Bluff Lake this week. You look around at the drab winter colors and think, how can I get a good painting out of this? Then you look closer and begin to see one or two outstanding spots of color. And as you settle in color begins to explode. It did for me in this painting. I can also say that the photo of the same spot doesn't begin to compare

Beautiful! -- I worked at Bluff Lake Nature Center for several years. It is truly a special spot in Denver and you've done a wonderful job capturing its winter essence. -Mendy

Thanks for your comment Mendy. It is a neat place. Summer there must be awesome.
