This towering granite mountain lies on the Continental  Divide in the Snowy Mountain Range west of Laramie, WY. The roads don't usually open until July in this high country; be sure to take a coat even in the summer. You will , however, have a trip of astounding scenery.

PRIVATE COLLECTION

This sweet summer painting began as a plein air painting at Brunner Farmhouse in Broomfield, CO, and finished in the studio. The weather was hot, hot, hot, but luckily, I found a shady spot from which to paint. The flowers, however, were loving the heat of the Colorado summer!
