Sunrise on Clear Creek, (SOLD) original oil painting

This is a commission piece of a work I posted on 10/23/07 , click on http://carolnelsonfineart.blogspot.com/2007/10/clear-creek-in-january-8x10-oil.html. The collector wanted the scene to be at sunrise/sunset. The reference photo I used was taken at about 1pm and I was facing east, so I imagine, had I been there at sunrise, it would have looked like this. SOLD

Winter on Clear Creek 2, 11x14 oil

I often drive to Golden, CO, (Clear Creek runs through it) because my gallery, Spirits in the Wind, is there...NOT because the Coors Brewing plant is there! This is another view of Clear Creek from a photo I took last January. We have so much sunshine here in Colorado, that even in the winter, it's usually pleasant to be outside. This was one of those bright, crisp winter days.

This is a larger version of the painting I did earlier of Clear Creek in winter - see earlier post on 10/15. I simplified the background and eliminated the blue sky. I like this version better.
