We've been parked in an awesome spot at the
Great Sand Dunes National Park for the past 10 days. The lighting on the Dunes
and the west face of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range changes constantly,
and it's always fascinating! The colors likewise are in constant motion,
varying from a rather bland tan to vibrant roses and violets. I've had so much
fun painting 'critters' on YUPO (a polypropylene surface -- think oil on water
in reverse) that I decided to also share our travel experiences with watercolor
on YUPO. The Hunters Moon was wandering around & was to our east over the
mountains while the sun was off in the west. Hope you like this little 'Noon
Dunes Moon' piece!
I discovered I hadn't posted anything for quite some time, so time to catch up. We spent July, August, and September on the Oregon Coast. Had a wonderful time fishing, exploring, walking the beaches, etc. The freezer was filled with Chinook (Kinge) Salmon, Pacific Rock Fish, and Red-Tail Surf Perch. We had an incredible time and plan to spend more time on the OR coast next year! We made a quick trip across Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and landed at Boyd Lake State Park in Loveland Colorado for 10 days; took care of dental & medical stuff. We discovered a nice regional park in SW Denver area, very near Red Rocks and stayed there a few days so we could visit my son Scott and grandson Justin,who both live fairly close-by. And that brings us to the Sand Dunes.
I managed to find a little time to do some painting. Here are the ones I hadn't post previously; they're all Watercolor on Yupo:
Flight of the Dragon
Dance of the Orca
Eagle Eye
