Mt. Elbert Memory Sketch

My brother and I climbed Mt. Elbert, Colorado's highest mountain in 1981. It was altitude training for climbing Pico de Orizaba Mexico's highest mountain. We got as far as the village of Orizaba at the base of the mountain. Our climbing gear didn't, it was stolen by baggage handlers in Vera Cruz. We waited two days in Orizaba and returned to Vera Cruz. This is a sketch of a view I remember from the summit, I especially remember the silvery white lakes shining in the sun to the southwest. Still fresh after 20+ years. This was done with an application called Artrage 2.0, it works on Mac or Windows and is totally free. Well worth the download some great results with some practice.

Pecan Tree on Old 82

This painting was done on location, or Plien Aire for a reporter from the St. Clair County Courier newspaper. It was 18 degrees, very cold. I had to cut the end of one of my paint tubes off with my pocket knife to get the paint out. The paint was like putty.

Rocky Mountain National Park

Field Near the High School Status: Sold

Tried to do the Plein Aire thing, loaded my car with all my painting junk took my camera for good measure. Good thing I did, there was no place to safely park and paint this along highway 13. So I photographed it and painted it in my studio. This field was loaded with color, I couldn't believe the amount of color in it. The red area is sumac. Acrylic on Panel, 18" X 24" Private Collection
