"Garden of the gods"

This lovely setting is in Colorado Springs. It is the garden of the gods. Although there are amazing rock formations, I chose this peaceful little area that had a walking trail that disappeared through the pines. My camera is on its last leg.... and the colors are not quite right. the grass in the front is much richer... getting bluer and lighter as it goes back to the mountains. Any recommendations on cameras???

"Meet Me At The Oak Tree"

Here is my 2nd submission for the Stems Plein Air event. The little white specks are reflection on the wet paint.

This year there has been a huge increase in artists attending the event. There is an amazing amount of talent. The judging and selection for the Stems gala will be done Thursday. We won't hear until late Thursday on the prize awards and selection for display and sale at the Stems gala later on the evening of June 26th.
