Brush Creek Ranch

Brush Creek RanchThis is a lovely ranch with its barn that you see from the main Brush Creek Lane going up to Snowmass Village. I always loved this ranch and I've thought, after visiting at the end of the season, that I wanted to paint it. Soft pastels and pastel pencils on Clairefontaine Pastelmat. A4 (21 x 29. 7 cm or 8 1 4 x 11 3 4 in) Price of painting is unframed. A great painting for any room in the house, that will transport you to your mountain favourite

with its clock tower and wooden bridge

from where my inspiration came

This painting I did it with a free hand

or for those that want to bring the mountains home

The original painting was made in soft pastels and depicts a lonely kid skier going into the woods with the Monte Bianco in the background

you can see the majestic Maroon Bells

Villeneuve seems like it has its houses carved into the rock

I like the dramatic landscape

A soft pastel painting of two guys starting their day out in the mountains from the hamlet of Valnontey

The amazing aiguilles du Chamonix are amazing

with the Aretu wall in the background and the Mont Blanc Massif

every time we go to Courmayeur
