"Looking From Estes Park Towards Rocky Mountains National Park" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting

Colorado is a state with many altitudes -- the eastern plains runs long and flat, high prairie, gradually climbing to the Mile High City and environs.  Denver is almost exactly a mile above sea level and one can tell this with the thinner air both in breathing in the oxygen and sunning -- you'll have a harder time with the breathing aspect and you'll burn to a crisp much more quickly!  We live right next to the foothills in Fort Collins, just over an hour north of Denver.  Driving up the Big Thompson Canyon to Estes Park, you'll see the fields, meadows and foliage before the great mountain peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.  This is my (oil painting) take on it.  And there's a lot more to Colorado than just mountains.  More on that later.

"New Years Day" Original Oil Painting by Gary L. Jansen

8" x 10"

Oil on panel

I love this time of year! In the high country, the wind sculpts the snow into wonderous waves and hills and hollows, cliffs and ripples - and the low angle of the sun accentuates everything with long, blue shadows. Many days are overcast of stormy, but every so often, a perfect day comes along - warm and still and clear - those are the days I live for.

"High Country Reflections" Original Oil Painting by Colorado Landscape Artist Gary L. Jansen

7" x 5"
Oil on panel

This is from a hike to Loch Vale in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was still early morning when I arrived at the lake and it was calm and smooth as glass - truly a priceless moment. About half-way through this little painting, the wind picked up, but by then I had enough of the water area done to capture the moment. After that, I hiked on to Sky Pond, and it was anything but calm up there.
