Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 08:02PM The Monday watercolor class spent the afternoon enjoying this spectacular garden on the Colorado State University campus. The challenge was simplifying all this wonderful color. This is the mid staged demo I was working on.
Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 07:51PM We enjoyed a beautiful fall day painting at The Gardens on Spring Creek last Saturday. This is the demo I started using three colors, rose madder, raw sienna and french ultramarine blue. I also pulled out the Ace "tree brush", a 1/2" natural bristle brush that lets you get random color mixing and loose brush work.
Saturday, September 19, 2009 at 05:10PM Today is a worldwide SketchCrawl. I will report in on the total number of crawlers as the sun sets. There were 4 of us that sketched at the Northern Colorado Feeders Supply on Linden Street. These are a couple of scenes I captured this morning.
Monday, September 14, 2009 at 04:38PM Today we had a fall morning paint out in my own backyard! How exciting to know one does not have to travel a great distance to pull out the paints! Remember location, location, location is closer than you think!
Monday, August 31, 2009 at 06:35PM We had a class of seven artists painting their way around the gardens this past Saturday. This is my quick start demo of some little pincushion flowers.
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 06:23PM I painted with WOW (women of watercolor) yesterday in Breckenridge, Colorado. We had a fun, yet challenging day capturing the wranglers, trail riders and horses! Here are a couple of buddies waiting their turn for a little single file riding.
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 06:17PM During a private session, my student and I captured this Old Town classic.
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 06:09PM A fellow artist and myself enjoyed painting this scene, while sitting and listening to Italian music in front of Bisetti's restaurant. 
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 05:47PM This is a historical landmark in town. It is now used as the Artist in Residence Studio, for visiting artists throughout the year. During a reception for the current artist, I sat across the street and captured this painting in my Moleskin Watercolor Journal.
Wednesday, August 12, 2009 at 02:02PM Yesterday, I met up with WOW • Women of Watercolor in Silver Plume, Colorado.
It is a very historic little place full of yesterdays treasures and todays sweetness. This bakery was closed for the day, but the owner filled the bread box with fresh loaves. I was amazed the number of customers that knew of this, selected their bread and left the correct amount of change. The honor system does work!
This is the painting of the day.
