Victor Celebrates The Arts -- #3

Aspen Shadow

Oil 16" x 20"

$495.00 + $20. s/h

After painting the mine (in the previous post) early in the morning, I headed over to Gold Field.  One might say that Gold Field is a part of Victor, or on the edge of Victor, but in the 1890's it was it's

 own town. 

Recently I posted a piece of an aspen grove painted on a violet toned canvas (click here), I loved the result of violets peeking through.  So, planning ahead I took a similarly toned canvas with me up to Victor.  I rarely paint a 16" x 20" plein air.  I got set up here about 10:30.  And, headed back there at about that time three days in a row seeking the same light.  

Here are some shots of Gold Field:

I guess this would have been the main street.  That's the old City Hall and Fire Department to the left.

This is the view toward Victor.
