Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting,Fine Art Oil Painting,“Hibernation” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

The deer and elk migrated weeks ago to the warmer valley below. The animals that stay behind will find a cozy place under the snow to hibernate, fish will live comfortably under the ice and aspens shed their leaves. Occasionally a wind breaks the winter silence as it whistles through the tree tops. The tall pines sway back and forth, adding a soft rhythmic creaking to the gentle sounds of Winter.

Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting, Colorado Landscape, Fine Art Oil Painting,“No City Lights” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

 

This lovely meadow is on the outskirts of a community that is still blessed with lots of natural open space. It’s horse country … it’s fishing country or just simply meandering in the riparian areas on foot. At night, there are a jillion stars … and out here, a jillion is a real number.

Winter Landscape, Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting,Colorado Landscape, Fine Art Oil Painting, “Frosty Morning" by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

When the bare branches on trees collect moisture during an exceptionally cold, damp winter night, they appear as a frosty greenish/blue mass in the early dawn. It’s a beautiful, surreal fairyland that makes the red tops of dormant bushes along the pond seem even brighter.

Impressionist Landscape Painting,Colorado Landscape, Fine Art Oil Painting, “Winter Reflections” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

Western Colorado winters are not always as cold as people think they are because of the low humidity. Tucked inside a warm snowmobile suite and snow boots, the biggest inconvenience an artist faces when painting in plein air in the wintertime is that our paint gets too rigid to work properly.

One solitary pine tree stands alone on this remote dirt road, like a Great Ruler surveying his subjects below. Farmlands stretch out in the distance, protected by a range of barren mountains beyond. That’s wild horse country on the other side … this is bear country on this side, and happy, oblivious families live in between.
