Buena Vista, Chaffee County, June 2017

I stayed a week in BV, at the Vista Court Motel, once again cheerfully hosted by Rick and Pam Rucker. First two paintings are at the usual spot at the foot of South Main St.

A couple more shots of the Arkansas River, one upstream two blocks or so from South Main, and the other seven miles downstream. I resolved this year to include more sky in the Arkansas paintings; I think I managed to remember this aspiration when painting.

And now one more painting of Cottonwood Creek at about 9,000 feet.

Red Rocks Lake, Boulder County, August 2017

Eldorado Springs State Park, Boulder County, August 2017

Looking north across South Boulder Creek toward one of the climbing walls. (Will have to confirm the name of this wall.

Two paintings from my file of old photographs

First, the coast of Monhegan Island, Maine, around 2007. Second, Shanahan Ranch from Colorado 93, on the south edge of Boulder, Colorado. BTW it's for sale.
