Telluride Dusk20 x 20
We're heading out Saturday morning for Telluride. This painting is one I am taking for the exhibition which hangs while we paint en plein air next week. The insurance company finally authorized the repairs to my car and a rental, so we'll be driving a spiffy mini van with lots of room for frames, painting gear and other essential stuff.
Painting Telluride is always a challenge for me- much cooler light and big, spectacular views. Its the poster child for what the Hudson River School painters would have called "sublime". But these days, I favor more intimate settings, so I'll be looking for a clump of cottonwoods or a stand of aspens.
I plan to blog throughout the week, so check back in- and wish me luck!

Oh, Telluride, it's that time of year! That's where we first met. I haven't applied the past 2 years as I'm trying to focus more on workshops and local events. It is a grand place to paint.
Enjoy, and good luck!
Thanks Sara!
Hi Ed, yep, I remember you were blogging about the show, which got me interested in the idea!
Your involvement in events like this one has influenced me to apply/jury for a local plein air festival (Hood River).
Break a leg, Deborah!
Your work is for lack of a better word stunning. I love love love it.
I just found your blog and I intend to read every word.
I see in your work alot of what I want to bring out in my own work.
Talk to you soon.
Thank you Casey!
