Cecy Turner
We enjoyed a visit last week from award-winning Texas artist Cecy Turner, who spends her summers in Colorado, where the plein air study above was painted.
"I started not to go this day to paint with the Estes Park Plein Air group, because it was threatening rain. Since Lily Lake is only five minutes from home, I decided to go try to do a small one, and I'm glad I did. When I got there, I had a chance to paint this low-hanging cloud over the mountain, and it was so much fun. It was harder than it looked! I liked the contrast of the clear skies to the right. I finished just as the first drops fell."
