Durango Study

Several years ago I worked for a company with an office I visited for several days at a time in Durango. I woke up at 5 am and walked the historic district with my camera. Still got to work by 8 am. I took a lot of photos for references, and planned to paint them later. This one was fairly complex, and so I did a 6 x 8 inch version of it today. I loved the rose gardens along the sidewalks and the variety of colors and dappled light through the tall cottonwoods. Had planned to simplify it more, but I love those architectural details. $100 unframed, $150 framed.
