Colorado Front Range in Autumn (Photo), Inspiration for Painting





Time for another painting, and time to look for inspiration in my photo albums.  I found this image, a photo that I took from the passenger's seat on a trip back home to Colorado.  I am not sure of the year, but this was in the fall, sometime around 1990s, on a drive between Pueblo and Colorado Springs. Most of my trips home involve driving up and down the Front Range. I liked the bright strips of yellow light contrasting with the dark shadows.  I decided to base my next painting on this photograph.
