"Morning Song" 8x10 plein air oil, available Another painting friend and I went out Sunday morning to paint in the Crested Butte wilderness. The Plein Air Artists Colorado were gathering for 4 days of painting during the Wildflower Festival and we had arrived early. Crested Butte is known as the wildflower capital of Colorado...and it was breathtaking to experience first hand again! This pretty scene presented itself to me on the way up to the old mining town of Gothic. We needed to join the rest of the 68 artists that would be gathering at noon to have the back of our canvases stamped. This is to have proof that you hadn't painted ahead of time and that the painting was really produced during the paint out. Of course...this one wasn't stamped yet as we went out before the noontime stamp gathering so I couldn't enter it into the show, dang it, as it was one of my favorite paintings of the outing! Oh well, I'm still happy! It's better that staying home and cleaning house any day. Stay tuned and enjoy:)
