Well, the sun finally decided to shine after what seemed like a week of snow! This is a snapshot from our walk this afternoon - now that it's warming up, things are melting and hopefully we'll be able to see more than the top rail of that fence in a few weeks... Anyhow, how's that for the view from my new backyard?
We headed down to Denver this weekend since I had to attend the opening of the Governor's Invitational on Saturday night. While I was down I stopped by Home Depot and picked up some color-corrected lights for my new garage studio. When there is no natural light, I like to hang a couple of 4 foot long 5000K flourescent lightbulbs above my easel - haven't found anything better for accurate color, and the lights are cheap and easy to find (unless you're trying to find them in a small mountain town). Now my studio is all set up and ready to go - I'm looking forward to a productive week of painting!
I coveting your new mountain life. Someday Ariel, someday.
ReplyDeletewait a minute, did i read this right, is that the top of a fence under all that snow? how deep is the snow? there's nothing like having your studio in order! have fun painting this week.
ReplyDeleteTell the good people what the Governor's Invitational opening was like. I'm sure they all want to know.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really incredible view. I did not realize that was a fence either. Do you cross country ski? Looks like a good place for that.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a similar view to that where you are building your house?
Ariel - yeah, living in the mountains rocks =)
ReplyDeleteChristine - yup, that's a fence, maybe 4 ft high. The snow up here gets deep, but it's especially deep right there because they plow the walking path all winter.
Shannon - aw, it wasn't that bad, just stuffy. You got the worst of my venting!
Frank - I don't cross country ski but I plan to start! Our house will be down valley about 10 miles, with a nice pond out back, but less of the impressive mountain view. I'm still looking forward to it though!
Hey, congratulations on the Juries Top Fifty award at Salon International!
ReplyDeleteFrank - thanks!! I didn't even know I got that until you posted here - I glanced through the awards and guess I didn't see it initially (stupid me!)!!
