Frosty Autumn Sunset

This painting is inspired by a vividly, bright pink  wintry sunset set against the golden autumn aspens and violet and pink Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I took particular inspiration from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains that line the Eastern edge of the San Luis Valley where the sunsets in the winter produce incredible colors and alpenglow effects throughout the landscape.

Crested Butte Artumn Festival

Crested Butte is one of my favorite Autumn destinations for hiking, camping and ofcourse LEAF PEEPING! So I lined up an Art Festival to coincide with our annual autumn extravaganza. I applied and was accepted to the Artumn Festival in CB. Following the success at the Durango Autumn Art Festival, I was hoping for a great event. Unfortunately, this festival maybe 5% to 10% of the foot traffic of the Durango Event.
