Colors of Colorado (and Happy New Year!)

EH Sherman - creating Art in Colorado

Happy New Year friends!

We decided to head out to Colorado to ring in the New Year, as we have friends who live in that beautiful state and I was hoping to spend some wintery moments outside, soaking in the mountain air and scenery.

With that in mind I packed a small bag of travel art supplies (enough to sketch with, but not much more) hoping to get some time to process the colors and rhythms of the mountains in my sketchbook.

There was so much blue and yellow, various shades and various and various hues. I took several little hikes when time allowed and tried to document what I could.

I made a few color studies while out in the wild which was the best start I could have envisioned for the first day of 2019.

Hope you all have a wonderful, warm and peaceful start to this new year. Much love to you all!

—Update—

Now that we’re back home, I can share the paintings made from those studies!
