(Click to Bid – 10x14 Acrylic on board)
This plein air scene I did in the same location as Breath of Gold, only this is the view to the north. What a different 90 degrees makes! The sun was setting and the colors and shadows became more intense. Time to have some fun and break out the the purer shades of Phthalo Blue, Dioxazine Purple, Cad Yellow Dark and Cad Red Light!
The space is an undeveloped 3-acre site right now, which will soon become Long's Pine Grove Park. According to the Arapahoe County website, the area was "purchased with Arapahoe County Open Space Funds, which require that the park development be focused on passive, open space related experiences." There is also the opportunity to connect the park to the Highline Canal Trail via a pedestrian bridge. Let's hope they keep the space 'wild' rather than sodded over and manicured. In my opinion we need more natural, water-wise open space in Denver and Colorado.
