Flatirons in Winter (Painting as of December 30, 2021)

Here is my painting "Flatirons in Winter" as it looked on December 30th.  That day and the day before, I worked on this painting to integrate those huge rocky outcroppings with the surrounding mountains and hills.  I made many changes, painting into the pasted paper, and using my painting reference (posted here December 26th).  At this point,  my painting was looking better to me, although there were still things to fix.  Meanwhile, over those few days, I began to hear and see very alarming news stories about the huge fire south of Boulder. . . .
