Mt. Meeker en Plein Air


Mt. Meeker by Scott Ruthven - 8x10" Plein Air Oil
Sold

Over the Christmas holiday I headed up to the Colorado mountains for some painting!  Mt. Meeker is located between Estes Park and Allen's Park along Hwy 7.  I drove into the back country until the climb and snow were too much for my car then hiked another mile to get this view.

  5. Hi Scott - I really enjoyed visiting here. Your work is exquisite! Thanks for the shiny bulb demo - I learned something about getting values before color. I'm discovering that painting reflective surfaces is quite addictive - and you've inspired me to do more of it. Lovely plein air here too!

  10. Good Morning Scott!... I truly enjoyed my first visit to your wonderful site!

    It would seem that we share many similar passions... for painting and doing it in the outdoors!

    I love the painterly quality of your outdoor work... but your interest and ability to step into more demanding realistic genre with subjects like your Xmas Bright piece.

    Thank you for sharing your techniques and your enthusiasm for painting! I'll certainly be back!

    Good plein airing in 2012!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce
