But The Trees Are Not Convinced (Plein air)

The weather here in Denver has been flirting with 70 degrees on several occasions, but we are having a late Spring. The lawns are greening up but due to several wet snowstorms the trees are being cautious. April is our second snowiest month. I was out looking for a spot to paint when I saw a young hawk gliding low over the small creek, shown in the foreground, so I followed along and set up my easel next to the stream and captured the light raking across the trees perched at the bottom of a small hill. The only colors visible were the pale green of the bushes and the light blue of the sky. Although the tree trunks had a breath of violet. I set up on a carpet of fallen leaves but my easel and camp stool ended up sinking several inches into the moist dark earth. The perfect growing medium for Spring to take root.
