Spring in Colorado, I can hardly wait. The next best thing was to paint a spring time painting today. Spring in Colorado is very colorful; probably not compared to other states in the south and east, but just to see the aspens finally getting their spring green leaves and the wildflowers covering the mountain hills is quite beautiful. All I could think about while working on this today was aspens and columbines, our state flower. This is done very painterly with the purple representing the columbine flowers. Thanks for looking today.

Trying to capture the aspens; loose and some pretty bright colors. What caught my eye was the group of really yellow aspens and then back behind and to side all those aspens were more the oranges and reds. Colorado has so many different colors of aspens; I never get tired of looking at them or painting them. Thanks for looking today!

This is a the Arkansas River near Salida, Colorado. I love this whole area around Salida, Chalk Creek, and Buena Vista, Colorado. We used to take our camper up in the spring and leave it in a campground in Chalk Creek for the entire summer and early fall. I have never, in all my life living (mostly) in Colorado, seen such beautiful aspens anywhere as I have in this area. The trees are first of all huge; not groves of small whispy aspens, these are giant trees and they have the whitest bark I have ever seen. The trunks are huge in diameter, the white bark is so white, and the trees in the fall are bright aspen yellow to bright orange and every shade in between. The area is just amazing. We did a lot of four wheeling in this area "going where no man has gone before" I used to tell Dan because I felt like we were so far up and back into the mountain that if something happened; nobody would ever find us. What beautiful and amazing photos I have taken on those four wheel trips. I pulled out this photo and decided to paint it again and again until it looks like I want it to feel. Sometimes it doesn't matter how beautifully a painting is executed; it's the feeling that tell me "yes" that's exactly what I wanted to say. This was a beautiful area on the river and I can't wait to go back. Thanks for looking today.
