This painting was developed from a plein air study done this past fall in the Roosevelt National Forest near Fort Collins, Colorado.  The plein air study was very similar to this final piece, but needed just a few minor adjustments to composition to make it stronger. 

It will be part of Settler's West American Miniature show in Tucson, Arizona. February 13, 2010.
