The Road Home II

     This is a favorite place of my childhood.  I used to ride my horse down to the creek, which was a couple miles away.  When I turned to go back home, this was my view.

Steam

     This is from the steam train in Durango, Colorado.  There is something fascinating about steam engines that seem to be living, breathing beasts.  This was a very cold night and with station lights and the steam enveloping the engine, became an etherial vision of a bygone era.

Snow Shadows

     We had about 18 lovely inches of snow that dumped on us in about 24 hours.  Making my way to the barn to feed the horse I noticed the wonderful shadow pattern from the log fence and my earlier tracks leading to the barn and wanted to paint that.

Moonlit Clouds

     I had done a plein air study much earlier of this scene and I just about froze my petunia's off.  I always wanted to do a larger one of it and this is what came of it.

This and the other recent posts are part a three woman show at the Goodnight Trail Gallery in Mancos, CO, starting  Nov. 8th.

Spring Reflections

This is the oldest cabin in the county.  It is hard to imagine a family living in this, especially through winter!  The phrase "cabin fever" must have come from this sort of living arrangement.
