25 Paintings in 3 Days

I went to Crested Butte last week for an art opening, and ended up spending 3 solid days in the condo PAINTING! I painted 25 minis, ranging from 2” x 3” to 4” x 6”. It was such a great time!

On my drive up there I was listening to John Denver. When I started dating my husband, he bought me a CD box set and said, “you should learn these.” His family are big fans of Denver and I found myself loving the songs as well. As I was listening, I kept catching lines of the songs and thinking, “oh, that would make a good title.” Therefore, all of the paintings are named with lyrics from John Denver songs (that in itself was fun!) Any guesses as to which ones?

I framed all of them, and they’ll be listed with my paintings on my website beginning 11/22. Prices will range from $35-$85. Here’s a video to see them in more detail.

I live in southwest Colorado and am constantly inspired by the landscape around me. I have multiple folders of “to paint” and this was a chance for me to explore some of those images. I somehow managed to cover every season (I kept jumping around painting them). There are so many that I’ve wanted to paint for some time but didn’t feel like they’d look good large, so I just went for it. It was such a great time and I just love looking at the group together. I hope they will find happy homes where they will be cherished and loved.
