Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting, Fine Art Oil Painting,“No City Lights” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

This lovely meadow is on the outskirts of a community that is still blessed with lots of natural open space. It’s horse country … it’s fishing country or just simply meandering in the riparian areas on foot. At night, there are a jillion stars … and out here, a jillion is a real number.

Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting, “Rough Neighborhood” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

FRESH OFF THE EASEL

Some neighborhoods are friendlier than others ... both in life and nature. This neighborhood is a little unfriendly at times as evidenced by the dead branches on an otherwise healthy tree.

If there are any people out there, the ones under the downpour think it is a stormy day, the ones on the sunny meadow think it is a bright sunny day, and I think it is slightly overcast. We are all correct. That’s how it is when we look at the big picture – we see everyone’s viewpoint.

Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting, Colorado Landscape, Fine Art Oil Painting “River Journey” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

 

Private sunny meadows like this are around every corner in Colorado’s Back Country. Sit quietly under a tree for a bit and you won’t believe how noisy this place gets when all the residents forget you are there. Even if you can’t see them, you can identify all the critters around you by their individual chattering's. You might want to quietly leave if you hear the grunts or bawls of a bear clunking through the woods. They can get cranky.

Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting,Fine Art Oil Painting,“Hibernation” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

The deer and elk migrated weeks ago to the warmer valley below. The animals that stay behind will find a cozy place under the snow to hibernate, fish will live comfortably under the ice and aspens shed their leaves. Occasionally a wind breaks the winter silence as it whistles through the tree tops. The tall pines sway back and forth, adding a soft rhythmic creaking to the gentle sounds of Winter.

This little piece is one of my personal favorites, and I really can’t tell you why. Every-once-in-awhile a piece of art just speaks to us … all of us. It awakens warm, happy feelings that reach out to us saying, “please take me home with you”. I should keep this one, but artists have to draw the line on collecting their own work somewhere!

Winter Landscape, Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting,Colorado Landscape, Fine Art Oil Painting, “Frosty Morning" by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

When the bare branches on trees collect moisture during an exceptionally cold, damp winter night, they appear as a frosty greenish/blue mass in the early dawn. It’s a beautiful, surreal fairyland that makes the red tops of dormant bushes along the pond seem even brighter.
