The first snowflakes of 2026 are currently falling in SE Fort Collins. Not a lot so far, but I’ll take it! #COwx #❄️
Felt very festive painting Old Town today, even though the snow’s melted away.

Had a cold but gorgeous painting session this morning over at @osbornfarm. If you’re in need of a tree or wreath, this is THE place to go! 🌲 🌲 🌲

First decent snowfall of the season — around 5 inches fell overnight, and it’s still dusting down in SE Fort Collins. Hooray! ❄️ ⛄️ #COwx
The awesome weather continues — had a balmy 70F sketch session today with the gang over at Soderberg open space, then a tasty lunch at Horsetooth Tavern.

You know how sometimes you do something so absent-minded that you can’t believe it? 🤦♀️ After I drew this little charcoal sketch, I left it on top of my Subaru and it must’ve flown off into parts unknown as I pulled out of Riverbend Ponds on Timberline. Ah, well. #FortCollins
Today’s charcoal sketch over at Osborn Farm. It was a gorgeous fall morning.

Forgot to post this one! Painted on location over at Running Deer Natural Area in Fort Collins a couple weeks ago. The water was so smooth and still…

Had a fabulous morning painting the Poudre with my fellow PAAC artists up in north Fort Collins. Hope the good weather keeps up through October…

Painted solo this morning over at Spring Canyon park. Temps are finally falling to a more tolerable range. Now if only the flies and mosquitoes would get the memo… #COwx #FtCollins
Visitors to Estes Park, Colorado have no idea they’re standing in the shadow of an ancient volcano. 🌋 #pleinair #estespark #estescone #RMNP #COwx #watercolor #aquarelle #NoCo #volcano #geology #landscapepainting #getoutside #coloradoartist #lauragyoung
ALT A Plein air painting in watercolor being held up by the artist’s hand in front of the scene: a volcano called Estes Cone. In the foreground is a private pond in an alpine setting.
