Georgetown RR 11x14 oil studio

Cherry Creek Bike Trail 9x12 plein air

Wow, was it hot today. Really unusual for this time of year. This heat I would expect in late summer. Even the thistle weeds are turning pale and wilting.

 Life Drawing / Painting

Bunny Hop 11x14 oil plein air with the PAAC group. Man was it hot. A nice breeze kept us cool, and it was a nice turn out of artists. Got lots of "nice picture" from the groups of kids that were hiking the trail near the stream. They spent the day by the bridge cooling off in the water. 

 Highline Canal 11x14 oil

Blackmer Common 11x14 oil

Two paintings from this morning at Highline Canal / Blackmer Common area. The day was just too gorgeous, to not stay as long as possible. There was a little haze from the fires in N. CO., the High Park fire, but it wasn't as windy as it has been in the past few days, so the smoke wasn't obscuring the distance just giving it some depth. The mountains could be seen, although not as clear as usual. Soo many paintings here.
