"Lake at Squaw Pass"


"Lake at Squaw Pass" is a 6x9" acrylic gesso on panel. If my husband were here he could tell me the name of the lake, but all I can remember is the hike that day on Squaw Pass here in Colorado, and the soft light of the day that made the scene look sort of dreamy. I think it may have been even a bit more foggy than I depicted; hmmm maybe an idea to do another one with more fog!

I can't tell you just how strong the feeling of peacefulness is in my heart when I am tromping about our beautiful mountains. The inspiration I feel is incredible! I have lived here most of my life, and have never missed a day when I wasn't thanking God for what He made for us to be able to be in and see. I feel doubly blessed that I am able to take that feeling and from my fingers do something that reminds me of the present He gave us!

On my panels I have stained the sides and back so it is perfect just the way it is, or can be framed. I like to take my panels and either put them on easels, or just lean them on a shelf or the mantel for a layered look. I will be posting on the sidebar in the next couple of days the look of the sides of these panels so you can see how complete they really look.

I would like to welcome my newest follower. That brings us just TWO from the goal of 35 when I will draw from the names so that they may choose my gift collage 4x4's. Spread the word so we can get on to the next contest!

Aspen Landscape


"Aspen Landscape" is a 6x9" canvas on panel acrylic. I'm not entirely happy with the picture...we woke today to 1' of snow and fog (no good light) this morning and my laptop decided to go wonky on me, so off to my friend the computer expert who kept it, so I'm on my husband's computer and not so great at editing on it...but, none the less...I at least was able to get this on the blog...WHEW! I don't know about you all who live in snow, but I'm ready for SUMMER!

This is from a reference photo I took last fall on one of our drives around this beautiful Colorado countryside, so I don't really remember exactly where we were, but I will always find beauty in our beautiful state! I haven't entirely decided if I'm finished with it, but since I'm trying to work a bit more loose, I don't want to overwork anything...I suppose when the sun comes back I'll take another look and decide then...''

We are only 4 away from the goal of 35 followers, so I'm hoping very soon to be able to let one of you choose from the 5 give-away collage paintings!
