Colorado Mountain Plein Air Festival

This year my husband Carl Bork and I participated in Colorado Mountain Plein Air Festival. Carl plein air (outdoor painting) paints professionally. I really only plein air paint for fun and practice. Also here in the mountains by Salida the colors are starting to change especially the aspen trees so it is very lovely. Here are some pictures from this week.
