This month's picture shows some of the spectacular rock formations at Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs.  It's an easy walk from the main parking lot south along the trail loop that takes one right up to these giant spires.  And if you ever visit Colorado, make this a destination.  It is a beautiful place.

You will have four (4) weeks to work on this challenge. Remember to follow the "Rules of the Road" on the right and send me your images as an attachment to your email by September 26, when you also will be able to see what I have in store for you for the October challenge. Thanks to everyone who participates.

Happy painting!

We are still waiting for access to the challenge topic I hoped to feature this month.  In the meantime, here is the August challenge - a scene from downtown Denver's Sakura Square during a recent summer festival.  

There's a lot going on in this photo, so try to concentrate on just a portion of the picture that will work for a painting.  Good luck!
