Winter Park Curbside Flowers

Winter Park Curbside Flowers

When ever I visit Winter Park, Colorado I am amazed by all the flowers they have planted along highway 40 as it winds through town. You simply have to take a lot of photos! Visit my website to view more floral paintings.  SpohnStudio.com

I enjoyed painting this Impressionistic floral. It was painted mainly with my painting knives. Their are lots of greyed down tones which creates harmony. View more of my floral paintings on my website. SpohnStudio.com

Hearing the wind blow and the tumble weeds piling up against the fence, I am reminded of all the flowers in my gardens. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the growing season lasted a lot longer? This was a local flower box spilling with flowers. Visit my website to view more paintings. SpohnStudio.com

Aspens often blend in with the color of the grasses and bushes. Everything seems to be a yellowish gold set off by the sparkling blue Colorado skies. To view more of my aspen series, visit my website: SpohnStudio.com

Aspens- Ridgetop

Aspens- Ridgetop
22 x 7, oil

The lovely white tree trunks of an aspen always seem to steal the show. Even in this painting, with fall colors in their leaves and in the ground cover, the white barks in the sunlight are memorizing. View more of my paintings on my website- SpohnStudio.com

Aspens- Barks and Grass

Aspens- Bark and Grass
22 x 7, oil

Felt great to be back painting with my painting knives again today. The knives give a lot of texture and also allow for a more interpretive painting. I loved how the grasses and small shrubs in this scene produced a color pattern all their own and the aspen trunks formed vertical ribs touching the sky.
