This small painting was done from a study done in my pickup. I parked across the street, put the seat back and did a 'stealth' painting. It was actually quite chilly and using the heater every so often made for a comfortable vantage.
Manitou CO is an interesting town. Lots of character in architecture and people. The 'Dulcimer shop' with its sunlit awning grabbed my attention. I call this 'Come on over' in regard to the pooch anticipating a visit. He seems to be the only one that notices my presence.
The original study is in the Grand Lake Gallery in Grand Lake CO.
