"Loch Vale", 5x7, oil on Ampersand Panel, Rocky Mountain National PArk. paintings of Colorado, MAryanne JAcobsen art, landscapes, nountains, lakes, rivers
Loch Vale is a moderate hiking trail in Rocky Mountain State Park. I'd love to see it in person before my days are done on earth. It's one of many things on my bucket list these days.
It's a blessing to at least be able to paint beautiful places when one cannot visit them in person.
What's on your bucket list? I'd love to hear from you as maybe your list will inspire my next painting!

Lake Trasimeno-Umbria
"Lake Trasimeno-Umbria"- 10x8, oil on canvas panelThree million years ago, there was a shallow sea in Umbria. A depression formed by geologic fractures allowed the birth of present-day Lake Trasimeno, a lake in Italy's Lake District that is slightly smaller than Lake Como.
Historically, Trasimeno was known as The Lake of Perugia and this name makes it easy to understand the importance that the lake has always had for the whole of north-western Umbria and for the Tuscan Chiana district. In prehistoric times, this lake was extended so as to almost reach Perugia.
This painting was done with a limited palette using both knife and brush. Thanks very much to Kathy Schmocker for the use of the reference photo for this painting.
