Shell Station, Westcliffe, CO, watercolor, 12×9″, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger Painted en plein aire with the doors open to the cold wet night, this was entered in the Sangres Art Guild Alla Prima Westcliffe competition in September 2019. It was painted as I was hunkered down in my car with the door open. Plein aire is not my favorite way to paint a nocturne. It can be a real challenge, not that I’m not up for challenges. It’s a skill to be acquired through practice, lots of practice

This view is my drive home in the summertime. Typically, the clouds gather and a bit of rain falls each afternoon. After the shower, everything is a bit greener and the sky is full of sifted light filtering through to the mountains and western pastures. My painting is about the light as it slides through the clouds.
