| "Castlewood Canyon Rocks" 7" x 5" Oil on wrapped canvas |
Last fall while I was in Colorado, I made a trip with my friends to Castlewood Canyon. Not far from where we were staying, this place just appears out of nowhere, mystifies its visitors, then turns back into prairie again. I suppose canyons are like that.
This small piece, rectangular for a change, is the first in a little series I'll be posting on Colorado memories. I'm gearing up to paint a few new serious florals and still life pieces, and landscapes of places I adore are my warmup exercises. And this is my first experience with Paynes Gray in oil. I mixed it in conjunction with Gray of Gray. I happen to like it.
Thank you for hiking here today.
