Brainard Lake Recreation Area - Colorado Series No. 1
2025 - Oil on Paper
This painting was done from the passenger seat of my car in a parking lot after hiking 1.5 miles and turning back around at 10,000 feet elevation on my first day in Colorado. I underestimated the altitude sickness but luckily had a nice view from the parking lot. It’s also my first plein air painting. Lighting changes quickly when painting en plein air, which drastically changes how you see your composition from start to finish.
**I painted this series inside the lid of a mint tin, so the original is a non-standard size approximately 3”x2”. Due to this, prints come with a border to fit in standard size frames. Frame not included.**
