Another beautiful morning…I’m definitely detecting a pattern at Estes Park: nice mornings, followed by rain around 12noon. In the afternoon, sometimes it clears, but so far not often.
The light at Bear Lake was perfect. I ran into Scott Loyd Anderson (of MN). Nice guy. Set up just 30-40 yards away. We both found spots right on the lake, although painted in opposite directions.
I spent the most amount of time on the painting below, then did a quick study of the peak below that. Finished just as it started to rain.
Bear Lake, Morning – Oil on Linen – 14×11
Ok I love the one from Alluvial Falls but I have to comment on the excellent handling of various grays in the mountains in this piece, masterfully done!!
Ed, I love the Bear lake painting. Great rocky mountains and calm water.
Real nice work. I paint with Genesee Valley Plein Air here in W. NY. Come by and let me know if you like my work. Soon I will be adding plein air links.
