I haven't painted in the past few days. Have been busy with taxes and other things. Hope to be able to carve out some time tomorrow. Spent a nice couple of hours this morning in Denver at, Meininger Art Supply. What a great store. It is like going to art supply heaven. There is so much to see you get dizzy.
Since I am not painting today, I thought I would inject a bit of humor thanks to that wise sage, Father Guido Sarducci.

This is based on a photo I took of a woman in the Denver Art Museum. I have taken great liberty with the color of the walls, (they were white) and some of the lighting, but hey, that's why we paint, so we can present our own view of our small corner of the world.

This is a view of a lavender field near Saint-Paul hospital, the asylum where Vincent Van Gogh stayed from May 1889 to May 1890, in Saint-Rémy de Provence. Vincent painted 143 paintings in and around the hospital.
Ironically, I found out after I posted this earlier, that today is Vincent's birthday. He would be 156 today. Happy Birthday, Vincent!

We have spectacular sunrises and sunsets here. I have about a thousand different photos of them, so thought it was time to use some paint trying to catch their beauty and grandeur. I did a small sunrise painting a few weeks ago, so decided to go larger. I mostly used a palette knife, with some brush work. This is a view from my bedroom window.

If you have ever visited Rocky Mountain National Park, you soon learn the highest mountain you see is the beautiful, Longs Peak. It is one of the 54 fourteeners, in the state. It is the highest peak (14,259 feet, 4,346 meters) along the Front Range and is prominent on the Denver skyline. It is named in honor of Major Stephen Long, who explored the area in the 1820s. (If you have a Colorado quarter, the mountain on the back is Longs Peak.)
The painting is based on a photograph I took, from Standley Lake. This view a few hundred yards away from my front door. Oh how great it is to live in Rocky Mountain High.
