This original oil painting on board was painted outdoors in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains outside of Boulder Colorado during a painting excursion to that state by Connecticut Impressionist Artist Leif Nilsson in the autumn of 2002. The composition was made by careful application of paint with a palette knife. This technique the artist learned when studying with the renown artist and instructor Henry Hensche in Province town, Massachusetts at the tip of Cape Cod in the summer of 1986. The painting measures nine by twelve inches unframed and is fourteen by seventeen inches mounted in the Florentine Style hand made and leafed finished corner frame shown here.
