Made my first hike up the Ptarmigan Lake Trail by Cottonwood Pass, outside the town of Buena Vista. The trail was about 3.5 miles if I remember right. Took about an hour to get there. I was thrilled when I arrived at the the first lake on the trail. I took almost 200 photos!
I had trouble deciding what I wanted to paint because there was so many great options. I decided on doing a simple composition shown in the photo below.
One of the great views above the lake.
Here's me trying to cram all that scenery into a small 8x10
...and here's the painting. I'll be returning to this spot soon to paint some more views of this spotAlpine Patterns
