These are the Red Rocks in Boulder. Not to be confused with the red rocks of the famous ampitheater near Morrison, CO.

I think this is the Third Flatiron as seen from the South. I not really sure, I painted it from memory so it's not very precise. It might be the Fifth. I'm not sure. What I do know, is that a lot of the cliffs on front range have this upturned layering. I'm constantly amazed by the geology of this place.

When it snows in Boulder, the flatirons become brilliant. Bear Canyon is flanked on either side of its mouth by awesome cliffs. I painted this from the top level of the Park and Ride by my house.

Early in the day the sun touches the mountains first, while the fields and buildings of Boulder are still dark and sleeping.

Winter Peaks

Original Painting $50

This is a scene from my imagination. I was playing with the relationship between sky and snow covered peaks. I wanted to experiment with how much or little outline is needed for the eye to see a mountain.

The trees feel a little menacing early in the morning. Jogging in the bitter cold under naked, twisted trunks, they seem grotesquely misshapen.

Pain, fever, I just want to die. So of course I tried to paint it.

NCAR from the South

Watercolor

Original Painting $75

NCAR is perched on a mesa above Boulder. My understanding is that the mesa is an alluvial fan created by the erosion of the foothills. Gravel and small rocks picked up and carried downstream created a fan shaped, erosion resistant deposit.

Looking North from the mesa on the South edge of Boulder, the foothills look like waves. They're smooth and repeating shapes breaking on the Rocky Mountains.
