MY DOG'S VIEW

12x16

     When I was pulling out to leave our campsite in Colorado last time I was here, both dogs were staring out the window at this little road. So this time I got up early in the morning and painted a 12x16 of it. I call it "My Dog's View"
     It's always somewhat of a challenge painting all the different shades and temperatures of "GREENS" in Colorado in the summer. 

LIZARD HEAD MEADOW

8X10

     I have been camping at this "Pass" for many years. There's something very relaxing about looking out into the distant mountains over a soft golden meadow with a small glacier run off creek passing through it; As the sun goes down.

TROUT LAKE VILLAGE

8X10

     I had finished a little 6x6 and was still waiting on the lake mist to rise enough that the distant mountains at the south end would be more visible to paint. I saw some early morning people down below on the north end where they can put their little paddle boats in or just fish from the shore. You can also see the quaint little cabins down along the edge of the lake. A really enchanted location.

SHEEP MOUNTAIN

9X12

          This is the same scene as the last post only a little larger and I had a little more time to paint it. The dogs and I ended up hiking up this hill a ways.

TWO DAY DRIVE

6X8

     I did this painting very quick as the sun was going down on my arrival. I had to drive back to AZ the next day because of Camper Trouble. (16 hour round trip)

MORNING MIST TROUT LAKE

     I was finally able to escape the heat in Arizona for a few days. The dogs and I took the camper up to Telluride, Colorado and it sure felt good. I did this 6x6 early in the morning when the mist was just rising from the lake. Totally relaxing!  I'll be post some more paintings in the following days.
