DRAWN FROM NATURE - The Plant Lithographs of Ellsworth Kelly




One of the best things about painting in Telluride for that week the beginning of July was ducking into the Wilkinson Library to get out of the rain and finding this book of plant drawings by Ellsworth Kelly. I had seen a few before but this is the complete collection of
the lithographs he did from the drawings.

More July Plein Air Painting

An amazing view of Lizard Head can be seen from the "front yard" the High Camp Cabin!

And this is the other direction. Looking toward the basin where Round Lake is located.
You can see actual photos of this high-altitude landscape at their website - go to links.
