Garden of the Gods

Garden of the Gods
Oil on panel, 10x8
Manitou Springs, Colorado
If you have not been to the Garden of the Gods, you simply must go there!  Giant red rock formations shoot right out of the earth, as if planted there eons ago.  These are just west of Colorado Springs in the town of Manitou Springs.  There are so many of these famous formations - it will give me subject matter for quite a while!  The fun part for me is that I have never painted terrain like this.  The colors are all so different than Missouri - much more desert like.  It is always so inspiring to travel with my paints.  It gives me a whole new appreciation for the beauty around me.  This painting makes number 133 in 133 days.
