Blue Sky Vail ©


Eleven thousand feet up, reached only by chairlift or skiing, is Two Elk Restaurant , a favorite lunch spot for us.  We always enjoyed this spectacular mountain view, while having our hearty lunch of slow smoked pulled pork or tangy barbecued brisket.  Vail is known for its 300+ "bright blue sky days." When I started painting this scene, I noticed how many different shades of blue and purple were reflecting in the snow.  I never knew snow was so colorful. The snowboards and skis seemed to be sharing morning mogul moments and planning afternoon air adventures.
