SOLD wild pink mountain roses

October 23, 2010

a sweet little watercolour I did this summer while Len was fishing the Red River, out of Questa, New Mexico, just north of Taos, New Mexico.  While I was painting

wild mountain pink roses

Len was fishing (and catching)

mountain trout

magic pole (fishing for sure)

and I painted this one too of the sun flowing thru this little group of cottonwood trees

which is still for sale (the original painting) on my etsy site

I look at these watercolor paintings now

This was just a doodle of some wildflowers up one of my very favorite places on Earth,  LaPlata Canyon north of Durango, Colorado on one of my mini-roadtrip outings,  alone/sans children, plein air try out….

didn’t work too well cause I was too self consious and too many people wanted to know what I was doing and to watch me (that made me uncomfortable)
