Evening Light

You know, it's hard to think of a better place to be than the Colorado High Country in the summer. I came across this beautiful scene one day after spending most of the day painting north of Crested Butte along Rock Creek. We were on our way out of the area and the sun was getting low and as we rounded the curve in the road there it was. In one of those sudden panic stops that are common to artists and photographers, I stopped, jumped out and did a quick painting to capture the light. Using that sketch and a photo I took for reference I did this little studio painting yesterday. I really enjoyed doing it as it took me back to a fine summer's day.

This 8x10 painting is available from my studio. Contact me if you are interested.
