Mountain Landscape, Trees, Fine Art Oil Painting "Places to Explore” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

FRESH OFF THE EASEL

There is so much to do here it is hard to decide where to start. You could wade in the shallow little pond and watch tiny fish scuttle around at your feet, or go right to the cool woods in hopes of spotting a snoozing elk or move across the open meadow to see what beautiful surprises await around the next corner. You could do them all in this land where time stands still.

Impressionist Landscape,Trees, Fine Art Oil Painting “Rosy Tamarisk” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

FRESH OFF THE EASEL

Tamarisk plants that choke the riparian areas in western states were imported in the 1800’s from Southern Europe. They are disliked because they reportedly use too much water and grow in uncontrollable abundance. However, many people secretly love them for their beautiful fern like foliage that turns a gorgeous rose color in the fall. This little cove is framed by a beautiful fall Tamarisk in full bloom.

Impressionist Landscape,Trees, Fine Art Oil Painting “Top of the Bluff” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

FRESH OFF THE EASEL

 Getting to the top of the giant rock formations in Canyon Country is easier than you might think. Choose the right spot at the bottom and you can work your way to the top by picking your own path along the many ledges. It’s called rock scrambling. Not challenging enough for climbing gear, but rugged enough to provide an exhilarating day.
