Here are a few of the paintings shown at the Continental Divide Land Trust Wild About Colorado Plein Air art Festival 
It was a challenge to paint with the weather constantly changing from partly cloudy to rainy. Also got some fishing time in but didn't catch anything. Maybe next time. Many thanks to Tim Diebler for the award and all who put on this amazing event. Also big thanks to Marianna and Bill Duford their awesome hospitality. The best in the land.

Started this with out great expectations, but it turned out alright.
Rainy Dirt Road 8x10 oil

Raining At The Art Museum 16x20 oil
I started this one a long time ago and it was just taking up space in the studio so for grins and giggles I tried to revamp it. It might sit in the studio for a few more years.
