Impressionistic fine art oil painting

MERRY CHRISTMAS
This is the road into the open space park Blair Ranch, Evergreen, Colo.
The sun was reflecting off the snow creating light rainbows.

Impressionistic fine art oil painting

After the Storm
16x20 oil
This sweet little shed is nestled on the old Blair Ranch
Jefferson, Co..
I often paint here on location and love to catch the light.

Impressionism was about light.

"The Impressionists studied light to the -nth degree. You probably could write of optical color receptors and wavelength measurement from a scientific point of view, but that isn't actually how the Impressionists "studied" light. Instead, they looked long and hard at how light is reflected or absorbed, and how this interplay subsequently registers colors in our brains. They observed and sketched endlessly. They then tried to recreate light itself with paints and brushes. I can't begin to tell you how truly innovative this type of visual thought was." (about.com)



Aspens, Early Snow, by Colorado Artist BarbYatesDudding

10x20 oil on canvas
As always, I love to paint trees.
This grove of Aspen trees are across the road from me, so they are my subject of many
paintings.
Quote by c.c. Cummings;
i thank you God  for most this amazing day; for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes!
