Forest Floor

5"x7", Acrylic/Canvas Panel
The seasons overlap in the West Elks. I have painted this tree from every possible angle, I think. Maybe I need to climb it and paint from its canopy.

Blue Sky and Shadows

5"x7", Acrylic/Canvas panel
I know backlight and aspen shadows are a bit of a crutch for me, but crutches aren't always bad... especially when they are as cool as backlit aspen groves. This is Mill Creek again (surprise!)

Distance

7"x5", Acrylic/Canvas Panel
This is probably the nine hundredth painting I have done of the Mill Creek valley, and I'm still not tired of it. There are lots of places to sit and hide up there in that lavender paint.
