Fourth of July in Breckenridge, Colorado

I'm artist-in-residence at the Tin Shop in Breckenridge, Colorado - part of the Breck Arts District.  As I'm just half a block from Main Street, I had a front row seat for this morning's Fourth of July festivities, including the kid's chalk art competition.   I was one of the judges and was very impressed with the 100+ entries.

In spite of the crowds and time out for judging, I spent most of my day painting in the studio with the door open so people could wander in and out.  I started an 18" square Colorado landscape and now I'm wishing I'd photographed it as a step-by-step as I like the way it is progressing.  I'll post a photo of it in the next day or two.
