With brush in hand, I often venture into my backyard Colorado mountains, where nature's canvas lay before me. The air is crisp and the light golden, casting shadows and hues beyond belief. I stand in awe, taking in the grandeur, feeling small in the presence of such beauty. I begin to paint, trying to capture the essence of the majestic scene with each stroke. The wind dances with my brush, adding movement to the stillness of the scene. Plein air painting is an experience like no other.

View fullsize Can’t get tired of painting this place! Every time of day and every season is so different; the garden is full of endless painting opportunities!
View fullsize Cheyenne mountain and Red Rocks open space from the Garden of the Gods overlook. I have always loved this view, a friend and I have talked many times about liking Cheyenne Mountain more than Pikes Peak 😂

View fullsize I’m looking forward to warm summer days painting in the mountains again (aren’t we all?) This summer I’m trying to get out to Crested Butte more to participate in the @shaunhornegallery plein air festival as part of the open artist

View fullsize I can’t say 40 degrees and rain/hail is my favorite plein air weather but that’s probably because my paints move at a snails pace 😂 Any time painting outside though is good time, regardless of the challenge
View fullsize I’m getting excited for plein air season with all this beautiful weather! Of course I’ll need to throw in another trip to paint the Grand Canyon like I try to every year.
