September Light, Contemporary Landscape Paintings, Landscape Art, Southwestern Art, Farms, Colorado Artist Carol Hein

September Light, 9 by 12 inch original oil painting on linen over hardboard. Fall is my favorite time of year. The light in Colorado pours from the sky, shadows lengthen and colors seem to vibrate. I stumbled upon this beautiful little farm several months ago and returned last week with a group of plein air painters. It has been abandoned but the Colorado Historical Society is in the process of restoring it. To purchase contact Carol at: carolhein@sbcglobal.net Visit my website: carolhein.com This picture is unframed but will fit in a standard 9 by 12 inch frame.

Garden of the Gods # 1, CLUB 47, Contemporary Landscape Paintings, Landscape Art, Southwest Art, Southwest Paintings, Colorado Artist Carol Hein



Garden of the Gods #1 - 9 by 12 inch original oil painting.

I have been spending time plein air painting more and more on these beautiful fall days. The light is pure gold. I am not a fast painter and can only manage a black and white value study and a quickly executed color study. Finished paintings are completed in my studio.

Essex House, CLUB 47, Landscape Art, Landscape Paintings, Colorado Artist Carol Hein




5 by 7 inch original oil painting. Spotted this house along the CT River on a very hot and humid summer day. The water and the deep shade looked so cool and inviting that I just had to paint the scene.
