Road to the Flat-Irons in Colorado while on a visit to my good friends was magical.  I was struck by how flat and broad the landscape was.  The feeling of space was amazing to my eyes.  I wanted to say by-by to all.

THE VALLEY

As I moved deeper into the valley the vistas that opened were breathtaking.  There were countless things to photograph no matter where I turned, I was dizzy with Ideas of things to paint.   An hour had passed before I realized I had not taken even one photo, then finally, this came into view; I had my next paintings in my sights.
