"February Morning" Painted on site and inspired by morning light on the old loafing shed, this painting captures a quiet rural landscape with a warm, rustic charm. The mountains are rendered in soft pastel tones—giving them a hazy, atmospheric quality, as if seen through morning light or mist. The overall style feels impressionistic, with visible brushstrokes and an emphasis on color and light rather than fine detail. Lorie Batson Lorie Batson~ is a highly accomplished oil and pastel artist, celebrated for her ability to capture the spirit of the West. She is a member of the Plein Air Artists of New Mexico, a signature member of the Plein Air Artists of Colorado and a proud member of The Cowgirl Artists of America. Her work beautifully portrays outdoor scenes with rich authenticity and depth. "February Morning" This original painting is mounted on repurposed, reclaimed wood flooring. The warm, natural tones and weathered black knots of the wood enhance the rustic mountain scene, old loafing shed drawing attention to the timeworn crossbow fencing, and the serene beauty of the landscape. Angela Camarillo~ Flying Lead Designs I love working with Lorie Batson who is an amazing local artist of Westcliffe, Co. Together we create beautiful, art work and bring our creative visions together. Being able to frame Lorie's artwork and add my own creative touch has been such an amazing experience. Together, we’re not just creating beautiful pieces—we’re blending our styles and the spirit of our Westcliffe community. Flying Lead Designs~ in the workshop, I’ve been crafting unique, one-of-a-kind frames that elevate each piece of art. My passion for repurposing and sustainability leads me on adventures and hunting for treasurers, gathering Western belts, belt buckles, conchos, cowhide and barn wood —all of which come together in distinctive, handcrafted frames. These designs merge Western charm, craftsmanship, and eco-conscious creativity. Angela Camarillo ~ Flying Lead Designs
