8" x 10" - oil on hardboard
I painted this on location with my plein-air class from the Art Students League of Denver. We set up in Commons Park, located in downtown Denver. The park runs along the east side of the South Platte River and offers city dwellers a wonderful place to connect with nature. This piece was painted from the middle of the park looking southeast. I was intrigued by the contrast created from the brick, steel and glass structures and the open, grassy area of the park. Where normally one would expect car lined streets, parking meters and concrete, the viewer is instead treated to a large green field.
