SPRING RAIN

This is a scene along a walking path near where I am living. The day was overcast so I decided not to go to the mountains. I walked about a mile to a little creek. This time I had a larger canvas and made a great start, but then a light rain began to fall. Not wanting to abandon the start and knowing it would all be different on a different day, I persevered. By the time I left I was shivering & stiff with cold. At least I don't think it is overworked.

Mount Evans

 This is the result of the Plein Air paintout in Denver two weeks ago. I was told that snow capped peak in the distance is Mount Evans. The sun was bright, but the wind was blustery, so I painted in my car.

Boulder Trail

One morning I painted with the Boulder Plein Air painters at this site. I must   begin to keep a notebook of the names and maps of places I paint.

The Windmill


One afternoon I drove west out of the city and saw this old farm off the interstate. While I was painting two photographers  came by to take shots of the scene.

Boulder Farms



 What a lovely day to paint. Only a little windy, as the mountains tend to generate wind! Hold onto your hat. This road into the open space was the ideal picture, framed by dark pines and the distant snow covered mountains.

Pond Along Boulder 95



It has been a couple of weeks since I have been connected, but I have not stopped painting! Now I finally have access to internet and will share with you again. Below is the first of two small  paintings I did on a beautiful  sunny day near Boulder. This was  just a little north of  the Teller Farms  Open Space.
