Coal Creek, CO — Original Pen & Ink
Drawn en plein air in Coal Creek, Colorado, this pen and ink captures the quiet dignity of a crumbling stone barn — its walls still standing, its roof surrendering to time. The bold linework and ink wash bring out the texture of the rough-cut stone, the tangle of overgrown grasses, and the skeletal branches reaching above the roofline. It's a study in stillness, in the beauty of things that endure.
Created plein air, this piece carries the immediacy of being there — the light, the silence, the sense of a place that has its own story to tell.
