I painted these two as separate compositions yet they almost meet up perfectly when placed next to one another. I sketched them out at the same time so maybe on a subconscious level, my brain connected them. If you look closely though, specifically at the trees in the foreground, you will see that both paintings have a different patter that does not actually flow or connect but at first glance you may be tricked =)
This painting is inspired by magical Colorado nights above the spectacular Autumnal landscape in the Rocky mountains with the Aspen groves at peak color in late September.

This painting is part of a series of four paintings, all inspired by the enchanted atmosphere that the rising and setting sun creates in Colorado’s mountains during the Autumn season. Below at the bottom of this post you can see a glimpse of the four. Check out the other posts from August to see more photos of each one.

When the fall weather conditions are just right – warm sunny days and cool nights – the trees turn the brightest yellows and oranges. From my experience right around the Equinox, many trees reach peak color at higher elevations and blanket the foothills below the high peaks in the warmest hues.
This painting is inspired by some of the early moments of me first experiencing Autumn in Colorado back in 2012 when I first moved here. The golden aspens really stood out to me, especially in clusters where only a few conifers were scattered here and there.

turned and peak all at once during these favorable conditions.
