Another from our trip. This was our first glimpse of sunlight in Glacier National Park, and it was spectacular! The previous day was overcast (but it was spectacular, too).

"Mist Along MacDonald Creek"
5" x 7"
Oil on Panel
This is MacDonald Creek in Glacier National Park. It may have seemed like a gloomy day to some, but I thought it was just magical. Like all the rivers we crossed on our trip, MacDonald Creek was running very high. A park ranger told us that it gets it's whitish color from the glaciers grinding away at the native stone.

"Horseshoe Park - Early Spring"
11" x 14"
Framed
$525
This painting from February is available at Brushstrokes Gallery, 1059 South Gaylord Street in Denver. It is a part of a show entitled: "First Bloom" - the Daily Painters of Colorado's inaugural juried show. I was really impressed with the Studio/Gallery when I dropped off the painting. It's run by three very talented Denver artists, and it's in a really cool area just east of Washington Park that I didn't even know existed. There is a one block stretch of Gaylord street that is just full of really interesting galleries and restaurants surround by that cool old Wash Park neighborhood - if you've never been there, it is certainly worth the trip.
You can get more info on the show and the Gallery at http://www.brushstrokesstudio.com/

"March Thaw"
7" x 5"
Oil on panel
This was painted a few days ago near Lyons - now I'm sure that snow is all gone.
It felt more like summer today than late winter. The down-side is that the wind is blowing, and the foothills are on fire (again!). I'll be saying an extra prayer for my friends who live up near Jamestown and up Lefthand Canyon.

"Lake Louise"
9" x 12"
Oil on panel
This is one of two recent paintings I did that were done on commission from a very wonderful client's photographs of Lake Louise up in Alberta. I was particularly excited about doing these paintings because the photos were just beautiful, and also I am going to take a trip up north to this region in June with my parents and my son.

"Shadow Study"
5" x 7"
Oil on panel
This was my last painting of the day. I started this one with the knowledge that it was getting late and I probably wouldn't finish it, so I worked fast, trying to get as much on the panel as I could before everything was lost in shadows. When I got home, I was pretty pleased with it and I decided to call it finished. Sometimes trying to get to a more "finished" state, it's easy to cover up what made the painting fresh and bold in the first place.

"Winter Sun"
6" x 6"
Oil on panel
From another fine day in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was ok sitting and painting in the shadows, but I forgot my prescription sunglasses and thought I was going to go snow-blind while I was snow-shoeing around.
