welcome to colorful colorado





I spent a week (five full days) with my family at the North Fork Ranch in Shawnee, Colorado. Like last year, it's a dude ranch with fishing and horseback riding, shooting and lots of delicious food. Colorado really lives up to their motto of "colorful"... especially compared to Los Angeles which looks positively grey by comparison. While there I found time to paint a landscape almost every day. Here's what I came away with... they are all 14 by 10 inches and alkyd on panel (I used alkyd because it's like oil paint only it dries over night so I could pack them in my suitcase and not worry about wet paint!)
