September 2011 Cover, Colorado Central Magazine


Thanks to Colorado Central Magazine for putting my pastel painting on the cover this month!

This is the mock-up for the September issue. Mike Rosso, editor of Colorado Central, asked to use "September, Nathrop", to complement the article on vintage campers, and old campgrounds here in Colorado.

I did this pastel "en plein air", painting on location in the community of Nathrop, a few miles from Salida.


Pastel Demo, from the Archives!
