Night Sky Minies
Here is my latest mini series of painted landscapes. I explored the concept of remote mountainous places where on a clear night the sky is filled with infinite stars.
Mountain West
Alpine Night Painting
This painting was inspired by clear nights in remote mountain environments where the sky is filled with infinite stars.
Winter’s Night
Colorado is a true winter wonderland, a truly magical place when the Rocky Mountains are veiled in fresh snow. I’ve also lived in areas where the night sky is pretty spectacular. With this new painting I wanted to combine some of my favorite aspects of experiencing Winter in the mountains.
New Minies
I hope you enjoy my latest series of mini landscapes. I aim to fill these small canvases (boards) with as much color and nature’s beauty as I can <3
Lavender Spell – Painting
This is an original acrylic painting inspired by autumn in the mountains when the sun sets and the mountains turn a warm, lavender color for a brief moment.
Pomegranate Sunset – Painting
This is that Wow type of sunset =) You know what I mean if you’ve seen one for yourself. We always hope to see that bright, vibrant pink sky at sunset but a lot of times they sky offers a more subtle type of beauty. Sometimes though when all the the components are present, there is an explosion of color above. That was my driving force behind this brand new painting.
Wintery Moonrise
Winter is quickly approaching in many parts of the US. Over the last month, I’ve been watching dustings of snow gather on the nearby mountain peaks here in Colorado. I’ve been feeling the chill in the air. I’ve
been daydreaming of admiring the pristine scenes of the beautiful, white Rockies. I’ve also been seeing incredible moon-rises, emerging from behind the mountains. So I sat down in the studio and put these fun impressions together and this little painting emerged.
Blue Mountain Sunset – Painting
This painting is inspired by the many years that I’ve spent in the mountains all across the United States. It is a tribute to countless sunsets that can’t really be captured in photos. I’ve compiled memories of my favorite moments where the mountains become layers of blue while the setting sun creates a bright, colorful expression in the above sky.
Glowing Moonrise – Painting
This painting was inspired by a moonrise that is lit up by the setting sun in the mountains, not any particular moonrise but many that I’ve enjoyed over the years. Most often, when it comes to one place, one set of mountains, I’ve seen the full moon rise from behind the Sangre de Cristo Mountains seen from the Mystic Valley Sculpture Park that I am building with my partner Kyle.
The Mountains Are Calling
This painting is inspired by the countless mountain vistas that have propelled me to keep getting outside to enjoy time in the mountains. Often times the scenery can be so awe inspiring and so incredible that only the most skilled photographer will come remotely close to capturing that moment.
