Plein Air Painting Estes Park

I spent Thursday, Aug. 27, painting at Kathy Goodale's home in Estes Park, and Friday, painting in Rocky Mountain Nat. Park. Saturday morning went to the Estes Park Plein Air Quick Draw & Auction and watched as about 50 artists painted a scene in 90 minutes. Attached is a painting I completed in the park Friday on the Storm Pass Trail. The painting is of Hallett Peak.

Another canyon painting

I've completed another canyon painting, mostly made up from places I've seen. Oil on board, 9X12. Went to critique night at Michael Untiedt's and as a result, changed my fence posts in the foreground. Anyway I like the sky and red mesas. Michael's link www.michaelomeuntiedt.com

Plein Air Painting at Red Rocks

This is a painting I did at Red Rocks Park with the Park Hill Art Club Plein Air painters.

Oil on board, 9X12. Afterwards we went to Morrison and enjoyed lunch at the Blue Cow. My cousin Kathryn was here from Michigan and joined us for painting and lunch.

Grand Canyon Paintings

I've returned from my raft trip through the Grand Canyon. These are three my paintings from some of my many photographs. Oil on board, each 5" X 7". The colors in the canyon are beautiful.

Almost Finished Paintings

These are the two paintings finished in the workshop. We went to Cook Park. The paintings are oil on 9" X 12" masonite board. Four colors were used: ultra marine blue and cad yellow to make all the greens, white and burnt sienna.

Plein Air Workshop

These are four quick sketches/paintings (4"x8") of the scenes at Cook Park. The sketches were done to look for shapes and values (lights and darks).

Plein Air Workshop

Heading out for a plein air painting workshop today and tomorrow. Overcast and cloudy, hope it doesn't rain. Will post any completed work.
