"CLEAR CREEK," 10132, daily painter original landscape © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Since everyone is complaining about the hot weather, I thought I'd do this little winter scene to cool things down. Clear Creek is an actual river in Colorado that comes roaring down the mountain and runs through Golden, CO, the home of Coors Beer.

This painting is on a 6x6 panel. I used a palette knife to glob on lots of Titanium white for those snow banks. For purchase information, please click here to go to my website.

MORNING ON CLEAR CREEK, 02908, 16x20 oil painting of river in winter

Another painting of Clear Creek as it runs through Golden, CO. In the winter, the scene is one of quiet solitude. In the summer, on the other hand, the river is alive with tubers, kayackers, and folks enjoying the rushing water.

The reference photo I shot for this scene was taken in the afternoon, so I had to "imagine" what the scene would be like at dawn. As you can see, I simplified and rearranged some of the elements in the photo to get a good composition. That is one advantage that artists have over photographers. Artists can IMPROVE on Mother Nature!

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, 11x14 oil

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.
