Oak Creek - Framed
24"x36" Acrylic on Canvas
Framed
While on a family vacation in Sedona, we escaped the heat of the day by swimming in the nearby river. My children played in the water while I sketched the reflections of the sun and the trees.
Dry Creek
24"x36"x1.5" Acrylic on cradled board
On a brisk Fall morning our family went for a hike in Golden Gate Canyon State Park. On the way home we found a dry creek bed for our picnic spot. After lunch, we explored as far as the thistles and brambles would allow.
Three Horizons, Moab - Framed
18"x24" Acrylic on canvas
Matte black float frame
The skyline west of the Rockies is like nowhere else in this country. Pillars of red stone stand scattered through the land. The Rockies tower blue above them. My children groan as I get out of the car for yet another picture.
Water in the Mountains
18x24x1.5 Acrylic on cradled board.
Often when hiking on a dry hillside, you will come up over a ridge and be blessed with a view of a lake on the other side of the mountain. I'm captivated by these kinds of views.
Standley Lake - Framed
16"x20" Acrylic on canvas
Matte black float frame
During the summer our family enjoys hiking the local trails around Standley Lake. This afternoon the wildflowers were in full bloom and the grasses were exploding in color.
Fallen Tree - Framed
16"X20" Acrylic on Canvas
Matte black float frame
I walk this trail every month of the year. If you're willing to trek a bit into the grasses, you're rewarded with a splendid view of creek finding its way into an opening in the trees.
Colorado Wildflowers - Framed
18"x24" Acrylic on Canvas
Black matte floater frame
Years back, our local community garden planted a pollinator garden full of black-eyed Susans, Queen Anne's lace, and coneflowers. Eventually, the flowers spread past their confines, slowly making their way into the adjacent grasslands. I grin every time I walk by it--beauty invading the mundane.
Approaching Storm
8"x10" Acrylic on canvas
An evening rain storm swept south over the foothills. I watched it slowly start to obscure the mountains behind it.
Lake Hattie
8"x10" Acrylic on canvas
My sister owns property in Wyoming. We often take walks through the fields, watching the light play across the surface of the water.
Ralston Reservoir
18"x24"x1.5" Acrylic on cradled board.
As you hike the east trailhead of White Ranch along the Whipple Tree trail, you catch a glimpse of Ralston Reservoir over the Front Range. It's one of my favorite views along the Front Range.
The Last Snow on the Mountain (Fowler Trail) - Framed
14"x11" Acrylic on cradled board
Framed
In the Eldorado Canyon State Park, I found myself on the Fowler trail with my painting gear. The trees hadn't yet started to bud. This was the last snow on the mountain.
Spring Snow - Framed
14"x11" Acrylic on canvas
Black float frame
A Spring storm dropped piles of heavy snow along the Front Range. We went outside in the middle of the storm to shake off the trees in the hopes of saving them. I could barely make out the spring colors through the gusts of snow. It was beautiful.
Crossing the Stream
24"x18"x1.5" Acrylic on cradled board
Hiking the Belcher Hill trail in White Ranch Park, Golden CO. For about 1/2 mile you hike next to the stream but never quite get a good look at it. Then, after a quick turn, you descend to the stream banks into the cool shade of the trees. It's a small bit of oasis from the full sun on the trail.
