SKY WATCH FRIDAY-EAST AND WEST COLORADO







The difference of the terrain between eastern and western Colorado is striking but the skies are equally magnificent in both areas. The picture on the top was taken in Eads, a little town just inside the eastern border with Kansas. The view of the mountains at sunset was taken from my friend Laura's deck in Lakewood, near Denver. This is what she sees from her deck every evening. How lucky is she? And how lucky Molly and I were to spend three glorious nights in her home, a welcome respite from our tent camping.

    Awesome captures, gorgeous, dramatic colors -- and the view from that deck is even better than the one from mine -- one that I enjoy so very much! Terrific captures! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Hope you have a great, fun weekend, Mary, with lots of beautiful skies!

    And both skies have an opening that looks like a heart! I really love the Eads photo with the different shades of blue. I live in Breckenridge, CO.

    Looking at that second capture reminds me of the lyrics, "Purple mountains majesty.

About Me

My photo
I am an artist and my new endeavor, this blog, is my latest attempt at communicating visually. My friend and fellow artist, Margaret Gosden, is my inspiration. Do check out her blog at http://margaretgosden2.blogspot.com and you will see why I want to do this. I work in several media. My formal training was in etching but I paint, I sculpt in clay, I draw. My best work, in my opinion, results from deeply felt emotions and I have flat files of unsold (but shown) works resulting from my reactions to difficult themes: Hiroshima, the rape of my good friend's daughter, my mother's death, 9/11, my lover's emaciated body before he died. I work through my distress by managing it on paper and canvas. I take vacations from the angst and make images that sometimes people want to hang on their walls. So I am not a totally starving artist. I will turn 70 in June and I can't believe it. What happened? I feel 40, at the oldest, and hope that is how I present myself. I try to keep an open mind, try to accept what comes, try to be kind. I look forward to joining a conversation with other bloggers and learn from them.
