Wild Canyon Ranch Colorado



This watercolor painting shows the elegant wedding venue at Wild Canyon Ranch, Lake George, Colorado. I was commissioned to paint this beautiful scene to commemorate a marriage here.

The background mountain is blanketed with dark green & light yellow colors of pine trees & aspen.

Rows of white chairs adorned with pink & white flowers create an aisle leading to a canopy arch alter also covered with flowers.

What a view & memorable location!

My daughter lived in Colorado a couple years ago and I loved visiting that beautiful state! This is somewhere near Telluride, I wasn't paying attention because I was entranced with scenery!

What a view! This was one of the best hikes that my family and I enjoyed on our recent visit to the Rocky Mountain National Park. The views were spectacular. Worth every drop of sweat, every step. Wish we can come back soon to the beautiful Colorado.

Taken at Arapaho National Forest on the way to visit St. Mary's Glacier. My friends were driving and I literally yelled at them to stop the car lol.

Somewhere in Colorado. The locals are very protective of this spot and its location.

Its a long time since I visited Colorado, but the one photo that gave me my 'fifteen minutes of fame' was the Durango and Silverton steam train against a backdrop of the Rocky Mountains, and was used for the front cover of the BBC book by Michael Portillo - Great American Railway Journeys. It was also my first sale on FAA, as a greeting card.

"Honda Goldwing Bike Trike and Trailer" by Patti Deters. Our matched orange 1800 Goldwing motorcycles parked in front of a beautiful lake at sunset with mountains in the background, roadside somewhere in Colorado. My husband and I drive the bikes on our summer vacations - it's a great way to enjoy our beautiful country. Please enjoy more of my (transportation and more) images at patti-deters.pixels.com.

Photographed - Piney Lake, Colorado

Cloud shadows from the summit of Grizzly Peak "B", the 2nd highest of the six peaks in Colorado with that name. This one is the postcard scenery to the north when skiing at Purgatory/Durango ski area, so it's just to the west of Hywy 550 between Durango and Silverton.

I thought I'd post it because there never seems to be a contest that it's well suited for.

I'm lucky to have this in my backyard.....

Breckenridge, Colorado.....

The chapel in Uptop surrounded by wildflowers.
