Sangre de Christo mountains

The view outside of Westcliffe, Colorado from a friend's front porch and an actual watercolor.

On Pucker Pass I

This is the view of the Fiery Furnace from the parking lot. Inside it's a maze of rock fins and around every corner a new view.

The textures, colors and contrasts in this region are remarkable. All the painting in this series are 9 x 12" and done with acrylics.

Into the light of day

Welcome to my blog! All my life the compulsion to create has been a strong one. Now that there are piles of artwork in the basement, it's time that they see the light of day. I'm also allowing a new philosophy to soften my internal critic. It's simple, but works.

1. "Just Paint."

2. Stay connected to what makes me feel joyful about creating, then "just paint."

3. It's all easier said than done then "just paint."

4. Let go of the current painting and start another one.

This series is inspired by the spectacular vistas of Canyonlands and Arches National Park in Utah. I hope you enjoy! Karen
