Felt very festive painting Old Town today, even though the snow has melted away.

Had a cold but gorgeous painting session this morning over at @osbornfarm. If you’re able to need a tree or wreath, this is THE place to go! 🌲 🌲 🌲

Goodbye, Moon. Hello there, Sun! #COwx #FortCollins #Brrr
First decent snowfall of the season — around 5 inches fell overnight, and it’s still dusting down in SE Fort Collins. Hooray! ❄️ ⛄️ #COwx

The awesome weather continues — had a balmy 70F sketch session today with the gang over at Soderberg open space, then a tasty lunch at Horsetooth Tavern.

You know how sometimes you do something so absent-minded that you can hardly believe it? 🤦‍♀️ Somehow after I drew this little charcoal sketch, I left it on top of my Subaru and it must’ve flown off into parts unknown as I pulled out of Riverbend Ponds natural area on Timberline. Searched and searched but didn’t find it. Ah, well…

Today’s charcoal sketch over at Osborn Farm. It was a gorgeous fall morning with the Fort Collins PAAC gang. I decided to draw instead of watercolor as the ambient temp was a little on the cooler side, which makes it very sloooow to do more than one layer. All in all, an enjoyable session.

Forgot to post this one! Painted on location over at Running Deer Natural Area in Fort Collins a couple weeks ago. The water was so smooth and still…
