Peace

The feed and grain is an iconic building in Loveland, CO. Each year, our plein air group paints at this location. The shapes and textures present a challenge to the painter. This year, the peace symbol caught my eye.

Four Mile Rock, Pastel, 8x10 © Nelia Harper

Four Mile Rock Archival Print

Winds whipped and blew. Fire raged and scoured the hilltop. Still, the rocks remain. Wildflowers and grasses reclaim the land. As you hike through the skeletal remains of coniferous forest, the upturned rocks signal the four mile mark. What view will be our reward as we crest the trail?

Summer Sweetness

Can you feel the fuzz? Do you smell that sweet syrup of a ripe summer peach? Each summer, I look forward to peach season and picking up fresh peaches from the farmer’s market.
