Shoulda Woulda Coulda...
If I WOULDA known that Mt. Sneffels in Colorado was going to become my favorite mountain to paint, I WOULDA spent a lot more time there exploring, taking pictures, sketching, stuff like that. I SHOULDA done that so I COULDA made lots more painting of the place, probably without having to use my imagination as much to fill in the blanks!!This is one of exactly TWO pictures I took of the rock (on 35mm slide film...this is a scan; the foreground is cropped out). It was mid-September in 1996 or '97 -- autumn colors were at their peak all around us, but not here. Another week or two, and there'd be a lot more zonking yellow. Telluride is on the other side of these mountains and over to the right a bit.
I'm working on a painting of this magical place now. I've never done a painting of the Sneffels Range that I've been really happy with. I hope THIS will be the one! 😊
