DEMONSTRATIONS
“Telluride’s Gold, Ingram Falls”
I was invited to participate in the First Annual Telluride Plein Air Event. The event took place in Telluride, Colorado from June 29 – July 4, 2004. This scene of Ingram Falls can be seen from just about any place in the downtown area of Telluride. This was a morning scene and I choose to set up on West Columbia Street, looking towards the east. I was painting early one morning in the downtown area a couple of days prior, and happened to see the wonderful morning light and atmosphere looking towards Ingram Falls. Right then and there I decided I would set up another morning to try to capture this scene. During the painting process I used my digital camera to record the various stages from start to finish.
“Shaw Cove”
This painting entitled “Shaw Cove” is of a very simple theme. There is nothing flashy about it; this scene simply portrays rock, sky and ocean. At one time I thought that I had to find a scene that had everything in it, more of what I refer to now as a postcard scene. Through maturity I have found that the artist has to be true to him or herself, now my emotions may be triggered from a simple pattern of light and shadow or the atmosphere of the scene.
