100 Colorado Landscapes - A Watercolor Project

100 Colorado Landscapes


   This project is a collection of watercolors inspired by my desire to get to know the natural world that surrounds me. This Series is dedicated to the great outdoors of colorful Colorado. 100 scenic views from all over the region have been chosen. Special attention had been taken to explore the rural and hard to reach corners of this rugged state. From mountains and forests to lakes and grasslands these landscapes explore the possibilities of a medium that is new to me. I have spent my art career up to this point working predominately in ink and oil painting and decided it is time to master a paint that is conducive to travel. The watercolors in this series are each 4 inches by 6 inches on watercolor paper. The pieces are numbered in order of their production and were started on 20 January 2018. Each Piece will be available for purchase once the series is complete but I will take early reservations if there is one that strikes your interest. As Always thank you for viewing!

Flight Cancleled.... Buffering... Buffering

Image
They always say if everything goes right there is no real story to tell. Our experience could have been we got on the plane, Got onto our connecting flight with a ton of leg room that we paid for, and were taken to our hotel in a timely fashion so we could enjoy our 3 day tour of the Golden Triangle. That was not the case...not at all...holy guacamole I wish I could say it was even close. So Charlie and I did check into our flight with ease and we made it to Newark, now it was 45 minutes delayed in flight but not nearly delayed enough to miss our second flight. In fact we had time to enjoy Giant meatballs and Calamari before boarding the long leg of our journey. With ease we boarded and sat in our exit row with triple leg room and space to breath. Well there we sat... and we sat... and then we sat some more. The plane had a mechanical issue and they were trying to fix the system, I believe it was to get the in flight entertainment working. I had books and an iPad... screw it

Dirt Roads and Mountain Air

Image
My first experience on the off Road I would like to start off by saying me and dirt roads have never gotten along overly well. Somehow, I always seem to end up with the rubber not where it belongs, but like most things in my life if it causes me fear or anxiety I run straight toward it. So naturally I purchased an Africa Twin, a bike made for the off road. What I didn’t purchase though was a set of off road tires, so you get some of the things you need like suspension and breaking power, but not max traction that you would want on a one land road covered in boulders. Now to most adventure riders this road would seem rather basic but for me it was my first test of trust with amazing machine. At first the road was what I remembered it being, which was a gravel road leading to some hiking trails near Eldora, CO. It’s started getting rocky with some tight corners and what you would expect from a mountain road which was drop off on one side, hill on the other. There were several ve

Joey and the Chopper Boys - Jack Schit

Image
"Joey and the Chopper Boys - Page 25" Throughout this children's book there has been many small and important details added to show my appreciation to the people I have met and who have inspired me along this journey.  On page 25, during the culminating event of the book, Joey is presented with the  "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD"!  Who better to present this award than the Legendary Jack Schit himself.  Jack can be found at motorcycle events all over the country bringing life and animation to any biker event. I am happy to have shared many good times with this man and thrilled to be able to include his presence in this children's chopper experience. "Right then, so loud the entire neighborhood could hear, the emcee blasted to the crowds that it was time to announce the "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD".  Joey remained quiet and calm as she hoped with all her might that all the work she did to her bike would be well received.
