Boulder County Open Space paint out

Yesterday was the first of many paint out Boulder County Open Space is hosting. It was at Walden Ponds. At the end of the summer we can enter paintings done from any one of the many Boulder County Open Spaces.

This afternoon the weather was quite unsettled. So I set up my canopy on the patio and painted. It rained a couple of times while I was painting.

 Here is the painting.

 This is from Weds night.

a little color?

I painted these flowers on Thurs. evening at the base of the foothills. I tried finding out what they are, with no luck. Any ideas anyone? 

It was nice to work in some yellows and oranges for a change.

Sat morning I was driving along Gross Dam Rd. and saw these wonderful low clouds. I quickly set up and whipped this one out. The clouds had cleared in about 45min. It was a good challenge.

 Then I headed over to Gross reservoir.
