Days in the studio

I am spending every available day in the studio painting.
I am still working on the series of landscapes that I was commissioned to do back in February.
There are 12 paintings in the series, each 36" by 48" in oils.
I have the ones that I have completed spread around my studio so I can see them and make sure to make each new one unique and different.

It is sunny and hot here in the mountains which is a big change from our 4th of July day in Aspen which turned out to be rainy and some what cold.
There was a parade on the main street of Aspen with antique cars and horses decorated with red white and blue.
Fireworks, which are not illegal in Colorado, were sold in stalls along the road, along with fresh cherries, peaches and apricots which are in season now.

The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years stor...
