'Morning At Sprague Lake', 6"x 9", in oil on board. On my first morning in Estes Park last August I painted these hikers standing on a small bridge over a creek flowing into Sprague Lake. It was just a sparkling morning.

'Little Red', 8"x 10", in oil on board. This little engine sat a good part of the winter and when we got a sunny day it was a pleasure to stand on the tracks to paint it. Freight trains passed while we stood out there and one person asked why we chose to paint what is ugly when there is so much beautiful around. Well, I thought this little guy WAS beautiful.

'Alamosa Urban', 9"x 12", in oil on board. And Speaking of beautiful... I love this kind of stuff around Alamosa.
