Landscape paintings in oils

---

Rick spent two weeks at Mesa Verde, interpreting the park's natural and cultural resources through his oil paintings.  While living in a historic stone hogan on Chapin Mesa, Rick engaged in an in-depth artistic exploration of this amazing park.   He hiked the park's trails and made backcountry visits to five different Ancestral Puebloan sites, taking photographs as source material for future paintings of Mesa Verde's canyons and cliff dwellings.  Rick interacted with park visitors during a painting demo at a site overlooking Spruce Tree House  Friday, Sept. 20th.

Rick has been juried into the 2020 Governor's Art Show which has been rescheduled for later this year.  The show will be on display at the Loveland Museum in Loveland, Colorado from Sept. 25th through Nov. 1st.  The Opening Night Gala 28th Anniversary Celebration will held at the museum the evening of September 24th.  Information and Gala tickets available at GovernorsArtShow.org .
