Picture this, in the heart of the mountains I stayed at the 4UR Ranch 8 miles from Creede, Colorado. The ranch is nestled in with the rocky mountains located in Mineral County, Colorado and is a natural historic mineral hot springs that has been around since the late 1800's. The beauty of the area was amazing! I found inspiration was every where I looked. I produce more than a few duds but produce a few keepers as studies. I left motivated and excited to paint.
Stephen was a good teacher who I found very patient. I can't thank him, his daughter Ally and his wife Marta enough for the kindness they showed me personally.
Can't wait to hit the easel this weekend!
Here are some pieces I produced (plein air - Acrylic on paper) and some photos I took at the ranch.
Enjoy!
