Indian fire Road

I rode up Indian Fire Road to do a little painting this afternoon. It was a fine warm day but that all changed when that evil shadow crawled down the mountain and draped me in its icy embrace. I might as well have been standing in a snow drift. I folded up the painting gear and sprinted for home but I couldn’t out run the chilly darkness. I was so numb it took a long hot shower to stop my teeth from rattling and my toes to thaw. This months water bill will be one for the record books.

Crags

Visited Sugarloaf Ridge State Park last weekend and painted this on my iPhone while chilling in my tent at night.

Snowy Peak

If I can’t go to the mountains then the mountains will come to me.  Painted this snowy landscape to remind myself that places outside of the office exist.
