This is the second of two paintings that are my show pieces for the 2007-2008 Nomadas Del Arte Plein Air art show held during the month of March 2008 at the Sage Creek gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The work had to be completed some time in 2007 to be eligible for entry. I did this painting on location at the Red Rocks Amphitheater just outside of Denver Colorado. The sunny warm fall Colorado day filled the landscape with wonderful light and made the landscape just glow with spectacular light and color. It was a complete joy to be painting that day. Enjoy

This is today's painting. It is a local scene from Downtown Littleton Colorado. I am very intrigued by reflections in any form so I tend to paint subjects that contain them. I like urban subject matter and feel this composition is a winner!

This is another composition from a trip to Portland, Oregon. I had a wonderful time in the city and it inspired many of my recent paintings. Portland is the only other city that I think I could live in other than Denver. The city and its red trees were spectacular to say the least!
