Aspen Creek

Acrylic and oil on paper 12"x16"
Reflections are hard! My painting doesn't do justice to the original photo, which is so much more beautiful and can be found at the following link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kenhornbrook/5540589169/

The high road

Oil on paper 12"x16"
I found this painting somewhat challenging, wanting to capture the impression that you were right there on the trail, observing the grandeur and the majesty of the view. This was painted from a photo that was recently "explored" in Flickr,with permission from the photographer. Here is a link to the original photo:

More Mountains


acrylic on paper 8"x10"
This is a familiar theme/scene - but done while practicing with new brushes and styles.
