Pursuing my passion

The fall colors in southern Colorado were the main draw for painting that day, but as the sun set the sky was ablaze with peach, purple and blue hues. I inhaled the crisp clean air as I challenged my brain to remember the mood and feel of this moment as the sun set since I knew the photos would drop important details. 

I used several photos to create this painting and removed a small travel trailer from the scene. I inserted a barn in its place for a more rustic feel. Instead of the contrail present in the sky I choose to place the moon to complete the peaceful end to a wonderful day of painting.

May you have a very Happy New Year, full of blessings, good health, and awesome art!
