Blue Colorado II
Acrylic on 9 x 12 inch reinforced wood panel. Primed with red oxide. Limited palette. Varnished. The scene is from a photo of Mitchell Lake in Colorado by Robert Lindsey. It was wonderful to finally hike to this lake this summer and see it for myself -but then it is also very eerie to visit places where you have spent weeks trying to paint the scene. The camera simply won’t acknowledge the red oxide undertones on the mountain for some reason even in this newer shot of the painting. ($75, includes shipping)
Cold Water Crossing
Acrylic on textured 11 by 14 canvas board. This is a painting of a stream and of an abandoned bridge built by the CCC during the Depression years. The mineral-laden water issues from a very cold spring at the Sulphur park in south central Oklahoma. In reality, much of the underbrush around the forgotten stone bridge is very healthy-looking poison ivy. The park service workers probably don’t have much trouble keeping hikers from straying from the established paths in the park as a result. I first saw this bridge when I was about 5 and have never gotten any closer than this to it. ($49, includes shipping)
