PictureADOPTED by NANCY CANNING
Today I loaded up the car and drove to the big city to paint with the Plein Air Artists Colorado.  The group had secured permission to go onto a private ranch for us to gather and paint.  It's a congenial group devoted to painting...outdoors!  It was finally a nice enough day, it's not supposed to snow until tonight!  Red Rocks Park has been owned by the city of Denver since 1928, but has been a place to visit and admire since the 1870's.  It covers 640 acres and is adorned with the beautiful red sandstone cliffs and towers that can be viewed from almost every part of the park.  The most famous part of the park is Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a world class concert venue, which has been the epicenter of music concerts, both classic and contemporary, for years.  The recently deceased rock promoter, Barry Fey, made the natural amphitheatre famous by making it the Holy Grail of stage appearances for any aspiring, or already famous rock groups in the world.  Today, though, it was just a group of peaceful artists capturing the spirit of the landscape.  Once again I attacked my Little Gem (only 5"x7") with vim and vigor and only used a palette knife to create my painting du jour.  Hope you enjoy it.  Looks like I'll be creating inside again tomorrow as Mother Nature plans to coat our land in cold white stuff again!  ciao
