Garmisch Alps (Zugspitze)

This painting is my first attempt to do a landscape of the Garmisch Alps (Zugspitze)...it's a small 5" x 5" acrylic that was done as a fast painting.

I have not painted for a while for this blog, yep that's the artist in me, it's hard for me to always "feel" like painting, but once I get going I enjoy it...I have been painting rocks and those can be seen on my other blog.

hiking path up the mountain

This scene is of us climbing up to the side of the mountain, and along the pathway picking flowers. There where red poppies, blue cornflowers, yellow daisies and many more colorful flowers, it always made a colorful bouquet. When we reached our destination which was a quaint restaurant nestled in the side of the mountain...we would have cake and coffee. Here you could look down upon the town of Garmisch and Partenkirchen It took a better part of the day walking up this mountain. Passing cows and sheep grazing, birds singing in the fields, frogs in the tiny snow melting streams...

Now you ask, why the frilly dresses and shoes? well this was a photo op day for the photographer who made postcards of us....normally we would have pants and hiking shoes on.
