Rocky mountain by Lily Lake.

 Myra and I are early birds. We went to Lily Lake by Estes Park one early morning. During our walk around the lake the warm morning sun was amazingly beautiful coming through the pine trees. I settled in the picnic area and did this painting of the rocky mountain by the lake.   During the chat with some other folks in the picnic area we found out that everyone there came from Texas. We all tried to get away from the heat wave in Texas this summer and hided out in Colorado.

Rocky Moutain National Park paint out.

  This painting was done in the first day paint out at the Rocky Mountain National Park.  I stood by the water and got a few bug bites before I finished the painting.  Oil on canvas board, 10x8.

A bright sunny day in Estes Park, Colorado.

This is a cute store front in Estes Park, Colorado.  I did this painting in memory of  the ten years anniversay of 9/11 - a sad history in America and mankind.  I tried to post this painting to my blog since 9/10/2011 and got an error message.  I tried all different ways and finally got a work around to post it here.  A message was sent to Google Picasa help and hope they can fix it.
