Colorado Cornflowers

'Colorado Blues' 8x10 pastel

I am back to Colorado for this painting. This is a scene from our visit to The Great Sand Dune National Park in Colorado. We had a fantastic cloud show one morning. The clouds were low in the sky and actually covered the dunes and were creating some unusual conditions at the dunes. I was enjoying this patch of blue wildflowers near the gas station of all places. They were the same beautiful color as the distant mountains!
