Four small WIP’s on the table. Might catch up by tonight. Hoping that tomorrow I can get a head. Or at least get a few started. For these three, I was working from memory. Not referencing a photo, or looking at the mountain. I was working late last night. I found some photos, to show the colors I had in mind.
Today everything is a bright shade of grey. Partly sunny, mostly cloudy. Hazy. Not sure if that is from fire smoke drifting our way, or just the dust in the air. Very windy.
A day when there was green…
Mingus blues. SMD
So often the front range and Mingus are a pair in contrast. One dark and one light. When the light is right, it still surprises me, and forces me to stop and take notice.

Sunsets change everything. The are magical. I tell myself, the colors can’t be real. Yet there they are. A few minutes, and then they are gone. So again, I stop and take notice.
When I am driving in the car. Coming out of a store. Sitting at a traffic light. Mingus is visible. And the chance to steal a peek is never missed.

Hi Chris! WOW, I need to catch up on your blog. That lettuce looks yummy! Thanks so much for visiting, and for following the blog 🙂 YAY 🙂
The pink photo and painting are gorgeous. I love seeing them all together on my Pinterest board. Every day my favorites are a different group.
Thank you Sea. 🙂 So nice to hear that. More on the way 🙂
Good going Sheila. I really like the colours in the last one and the photo of Mingus ‘in the pink’ is fabulous!
So glad you like them Val. I have more pink photos, look forward to trying to paint them 🙂 Thanks 🙂
Many Mingi! I’m loving the variety of colors and the varied vantage points, Sheila. Mingus Day #25 knocks my socks off! The simplicity, the stratification and shadow, the horizontality, the abstraction. Super!
Cool Dotty 🙂 That was the one I was least sure about. I like it, but I wasn’t sure anyone else would. Thanks for the visit and the encouragement :0 Happy painting my friend 🙂
