Lodge in the Cottonwoods

"Lodge in the Cottonwoods"
9" x 12" oil on panel
$300.00 -sold-
I snuck up to the Museum grounds and made this early morning Rendezvous plein air of Michael Terry's lodge. Just as I was finishing, that lovely paint horse of his wandered into the early light - heartstopping, but that will have to wait for another painting. I enjoy the value pattern of this piece, the distant peaks, and warm meadow grass contrasted with the cool sage. I can almost feel that July morning sun warming the east side of the lodge.
