Estes Park Memory (Painting as of April 16, 2020)


This is the painting that I started yesterday.  My inspiration: photos from a trip to the Colorado mountains in 1956.  I was eight at the time of the trip, so details are vague, but I know we were went to Estes Park.  Two days ago, I cropped and modified one of the photos to use as a painting reference (posted here April 14).  Today I worked on the foreground, adding the basic color and some texture.  I also changed the lines, putting in some shapes on the left. Those hills are in the original photo but outside the area of my crop. Today I moved them back into this image to add interest to the composition.
