O Fallon Park Outhouse

11x14 oil plein air

It was forecast to be a warm and windy day and it was. Luckily I found a spot where the wind didn't make painting a headache. It was instead, a fun spring time hike and outing. I am not sure why I chose to paint an outhouse but it was kind of fun.

Brisk day, warm sunshine, cool wind and lots of compliments from passers by.

Another pastel of Crown Hill Park painting done on the same day as the previous pastel.

Hmm, I must like this place.

What do you think?

Two Ponds Wildlife Refuge

The weather man said it would be warm and sunny and it was when I left the house. When we arrived at the location, it was cold and cloudy. Met a new member to the PAAC group and I think he said he was from Alabama. He was really wanting to know where the 360 days of sunshine was in Colorado. I could only smile and think to my self, just give it a couple of hours, it'll change :-)

Where's the Bear?
I know I say this a lot, but wow what a day. First of March and I am out painting in my t shirt. Ya gotta love it. Good friends, warm days, challenging paintings. Can it get any better? Well maybe, if there was a sale ?  :-)

Roxborough Park
A beautiful spot and a beautiful day. But I didn't know that there is a problem with rattle snakes there. An artist familiar with the area said that during the summer months it is best to stay on the trails and be very careful of stepping off of the path. It is still cool in the mornings but those little critters could be trying to warm up on a rock, just out of sight. The golf course just over the ridge has maintenance carrying a few off the course every morning during the warm weather. Hmm a new meaning to the term hazard.
