Update: The Return is in Sight

It has taken a few YEARS, but Studio Atelier will be re-activated soon. My studio is now functional, and I've been warming up with some sketches and watercolors. I also have been taking some online classes through the Sktchy app and from Dreama Tolle Perry.

I hope you are having fun with your art. Check back here in August for the new Studio Atelier painting challenge!

We spent a couple of nights in Estes Park, located just outside the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.  Estes Park holds festivals and is primarily a tourist town during the warmer months of the year.  It has a lovely river walk that was developed after the Lawn Lake flood swept through town on July 15, 1982.

Established by Congress in 1915, Rocky Mountain National Park hosts millions of visitors each year.  Its elevations range from 8,000 in the valleys to 14,259 feet at the top of Longs Peak (shown here). I hope you are able to experience this beautiful park during your lifetime.

Here we have an example of the diversity of the environment contained within RMNP - a valley filled with lush grasses and willows, slopes of evergreens, and the raw, rugged rock of mountain peaks.

Thanks to everyone who participates, and good luck.
