"Dorsey Lake"

8 x 10
oil on ampersand hardbord

My second plein air painting in Colorado is a scene of Dorsey Lake at the entrance to the YMCA grounds just a couple of miles west of Estes Park. I'm still using a limited palette of ultramarine blue, alizarin crimson and cad yellow light, and white of course.

    What gorgeous colors you achieved from such a limited palette. Beautiful rendering of a beautiful area.
    Was so hoping you guys would get some rain from the tropical storm. Thinking of you!
