"Another Look at Red Mountain" by Karla Nolan, unframed oil pastel painting



My first attempt at painting with oil pastels.  A repeat subject.  Red Mountain the southwestern part of the state of Colorado.  I painted with soft pastels for years and occasionally yearn to return to them.  However, oil pastels beckoned because we were going on vacation and they were easier to haul.  Yet another experiment for me.  And since I am crazy over this particular subject, it was a fun and very educational experience.  I just love Colorado!

"Cherished Travel Memory: Red Mountain " by Karla Nolan 8"x12" watercolor painting matted to 12"x16"





The southwestern portion of Colorado has many beautiful passes and colorful, high mountains, but this is absolutely my favorite:  Red Mountain.  It is between Silverton and Ouray, on the road to the Million Dollar Highway and Durango, as well as the always fascinating Anasazi ruins at Mesa Verde.  Red Mountain is loaded with iron ore, surrounded by evergreens and aspens; there is no bad view of it.  (I love it, can you tell?)
