Contemporary Landscape painting by Colorado artist BarbYatesDudding

Side by Side
24x30 oil on canvas

The sky is starting to change as autumn creeps in.
The colors and texture of the landscape pulse warm.
This is my favorite time to paint........
This is the old "Blair Ranch" in Evergreen, Co.
Now Jefferson Co. open space;
 with great hiking trails and peaceful painting locations:)

A Salute to Spring by Dorothy (Alves) Holmes

Spring in my step
Spring in the air
Spring!
Spring!
Lingering everywhere.

Spring fever to follow,
But I don't care,
Spring, for new journeys,
I'll meet you there!

Where?
By the garden gate,
You silly thing,
It's an invitation to frolic
So let's begin to sing.
It's Spring!

Spring Creek 30x24 oil/acrylic

This is the time of the year to catch the first colors of Spring.
The greens are fresh and yellow and the flowering shrub is bright.
This was painted in the foothills of Colorado.

Poem by Istiqur Rahman :

How I love to watch
The clouds? : - Peacefully –
Peacefully drifted by,
Silently upon the breeze –
They easily across the clear blue sky.

Loving Clouds How I love to watch the clouds Peacefully, peacefully drifting by Silently upon the breeze They ease across the clear blue sky. How they build and roll and tumble Just like angels out to play Dancing with the sylphs and fairies Head o'er heels along the way. Each new shape is quite amusing: Puffs to great majestic towers Building for their loving gift To bless the earth with vital showers. - - ** - - by Craig Nicholson

Loving Clouds
How I love to watch the clouds
Peacefully, peacefully drifting by
Silently upon the breeze
They ease across the clear blue sky.

How they build and roll and tumble
Just like angels out to play
Dancing with the sylphs and fairies
Head o'er heels along the way.
Each new shape is quite amusing:
Puffs to great majestic towers
Building for their loving gift
To bless the earth with vital showers.

Along the Creek 24x30


Blue is the overwhelming "favorite color." Blue is seen as trustworthy, dependable, and committed.

The color of ocean and sky, blue is perceived as a constant in our lives. As the collective color of the spirit, it invokes rest and can cause the body to produce chemicals that are calming. However, not all blues are serene and sedate.

Electric or brilliant blues become dynamic and dramatic -- an engaging color that expresses exhilaration. Some shades or the overuse of blue may come across as cold or uncaring.

Indigo, a deeper blue, symbolizes a mystical borderland of wisdom, self-mastery, and spiritual realization. While blue is the color of communication with others, indigo turns the blue inward to increase personal thought, profound insights, and instant understandings.

Blue is the least "gender specific" color, having equal appeal to both men and women.(about.com)
