This is a small piece I did early in the morning. The early morning light was hitting the mountain behind the trees giving it a golden color while the trees and valley floor were still in shadow. I was fascinated by the color combination and reflections in the water. This is one of my favorite spots along the Dolores river.
I love it when the full moon is out. The softness of the light is irresistible to try and paint. Even more exciting for me is how the moon lights the clouds.
This is one out back of my studio. I love coming out during full moon with the rising or setting of the moon and try to catch the beautiful colors. I have painted this hill many times but I think this one is the best so far.
