The 2016 Plein Air Artist's of Colorado Paint-A-Thon, held in Fort Collins, Colorado. This was the third of three paintings. Lorrie State Park skirts the west side of Horsetooth Resevoir. I took a short hike down from the parking lot and I found this cool quiet cove. I was drawn by warm varied pinks of the rocks and the cool green of the cottonwoods and willows in the cove, I wanted to play with the warms against the cool.
