This summer we spent a weekend in Aspen, attending the music festival and enjoying the wonderful scenery. The city has a beautiful garden which was built as a tribute to John Denver, who spent much of his life in the area. The reference photo, above, and the photo of the painting refer to this lovely setting. Painting both water and rocks can be tricky for me, and i changed a few things from the reference photo in order to make the painting “work” better. It’s not quite finished, but is really close. 9” x 12”, oil on panel.
