Colorado Drawings: Georgetown (version 2)

I am working on a series of small drawings based on quick sketches of the Colorado mountains. On a trip back to my home state in the 1980's, I took along a small 5 x 8 inch sketchbook and when I was in the passenger seat, I pulled it out and made simple line drawings of the mountains. I often noted the rough location. I have been copying those old sketches and adding color with dry media. This drawing is based on a sketch I made near Georgetown, Colorado. (The sketch is posted, November 10, 2012). I made an earlier version of this last week (posted here November 16, 2012). The color scheme is similar, but I prefer the composition of this one because the lines of the mountains are higher up on the page..
