Glen Eyrie is the former home of William Palmer, one of the founders of Colorado Springs. Like many big, old, beautiful homes around the country, it is now no longer a home.  In this case it is a retreat center.  My plein air group paints there almost every year.  This building was a carriage house, now it's a book store and location of a group meeting room.

I was drawn to the strong shadows and fun reflection in the window.  As well as the fact that there was shade to stand in while I painted!  Always a plus!

Love the painting and the story. It's what I like about blogs. The back
stories of what we paint matter too.

XOXOXOXOXO Love your work.
