Wild Western Art
by Susan Humphrey

The beauty of Colorado is my spirit! For someone to enjoy my photos, is like looking into my heart and sharing something that is so personal, I keep it guarded at times. I use my photography as a record of the history, as well as the awesome beauty of the area. I remember all of the family stories about moving cattle around the area, the wildlife seen and the accidental rodeos along the way. I love the way that you can stand in the high alpine and see the desert adobes in the distance. The more photos I take, the more amazing detail I see. I especially like to capture the landscapes and ranch life; I have also become fascinated with the mustangs in Sand Wash Basin in Northwestern Colorado. .
I recently have taken workshops on Oil Painting. My favorite is an Expressionism style of the western ranch life. Although my skills are limited, I am enjoying the challenge of improving with every work. I hope that you enjoy visiting Colorado through my eyes and art!
