Into the Canyon

Into the Canyon___27th sketch in Colorado Sketchbook__EBAY item #140454193056

Thursday morning is the beginning of the Ebay sale of my entire Colorado Sketchbook. It will be a fixed price sale, or best offer. The sketch above is #27 of 30 sketches in the sketchbook. It is a favorite view of mine, along Highway 17 going from Antonito south toward our place along the Conejos...it is an area of great transitions as yhou travel just 25 miles or so from an almost desert-like plain, through mesas like this, then up into the aspens and high mountains....

The photo below is a tribute to me from my son who just got married Saturday...when he was a little boy he would prepare for a big day by laying his special clothes out the night before:

His full uniform would be in order for the next days' soccer game, he'd lay out school clothes sometimes, and once he put new Disneyland clothes out before a trip there...even the Donald Duck hat...

So, late last night, before an early honeymoon flight to the tropics, I got this photo in a text message/email from my newlywed son...

Ah! I used to lay out my clothes like that too. Good times.

Like that graphite sketch too. Can feel the sun just beating down.
