Daily Painting, 5

6×6″, oil on wrapped canvas, $50

Farewell Gap is an unusually symmetrical mountain pass. The elevation is somewhere in the 10,000′ range, and the trail to get there is 6-1/2 miles long, very well graded, with fabulous flowers. I love that hike. (Never mind. Stupid plantar fasciitis.)

This year I am lollygagging about the cabin, enjoying the views from the valley. This is one of the best. This one sold, but I can paint it again. Happily! Love this view.

  1. That is VERY NICE, baby doll…..I can understand your “love” of facebook…W

    • Aww, thanks, Wanda! Hard to go wrong with such gorgeous subject matter!

  2. What a neat idea to post a painting every day — especially when mountains are involved. Just got back last weekend from a week in Colorado. Love, love, love the mountains. Kind of hard to return to the flatlands after spending a week surrounded by such beauty — and cool air! Such a welcome change from the 100+ temps we’ve been having in the Heartland for the last several weeks.

    • Duane Keiser is the “father” of the daily painting movement. He took it and ran! And I’d love to see the mountains of Colorado – so glad you got to spend some time there. Coming home is always bittersweet, but the memories carry one for a little while. Missed reading your blog while you were away, Cheryl!
