The first snowflakes of 2026 are currently falling in SE Fort Collins. Not a lot so far, but I’ll take it! #COwx #❄️
First Painting of the Year! ✿ Plein Air Vlog #69

YouTube
First painting of the year! It got a late start (was having too much fun catching up with friends) and the weirdly warm weather kept tricking me into thinking it was summer; which of course threw off my drying time for watercolor layers. I kept telling myself that I was going to stop (like five times), that I was going to finish it in the studio, that I was going to toss it into the nearest trash bin….but I didn’t. I stuck it out, and am not entirely unpleased with the result.
@GPJohnston Thanks, Greg! Here’s to 2026… 🎨 😊

A video of every plein air painting I did this year: the good, the bad, and the overworked. 😜

Thanks so much, dear friends, for your support and friendship over the last 12 months. You make all the sunburn, bug bites and frozen toes worthwhile!

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

@MarkBrigham Thanks! 😊 🎨

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! 🌲 🌲 🌲
