Frosty Autumn Sunset

Posted by kasiapolkowska on Nov 28, 2023 in Autumn, Colorado, Landscape Painting, Mandala Sky, Sunset, Winter | No Comments

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.

Rose and Lavender Mountain Galaxies

Posted by kasiapolkowska on Jan 18, 2023 in Colorado, Landscape Painting, Mountain West, Night Sky, Winter | No Comments

I worked to create a unique scene inspired by various ways that the colors pink and lavender can be seen in nature while thinking of Winter. I’ve once seen a beautifully pinkish, violet night sky filled with incredible stars. I stood under it and wondered at the sight, ‘How could the sky feel pinkish at night? Magic!’. I’ve seen snow capped peaks appear a glowing pink due to the illusion created by the suns setting and rising rays.

Both the paintings in this post were inspired by wintry, star-filled nights that are present in the more remote Northern Rocky Mountains.

Brilliant Mountain Sunset

This painting is inspired by brilliantly colored sunsets in the mountains when not just the sky but also the mountains are veiled in vivid, rich colors.

Wintry Mountain Sunset

This is painting inspired by Winter in the San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado where I live. I love when the snowy conditions create beautifully soft colors on the mountains. When the sun begins to set, the snow covered mountains can briefly appear to be a spectacular shades of blue. Set against the brightly colored sky, the mountains look magical.

At the beginning of this year I began a new series of small paintings: 6″x8″, 6″x12″ and 8″x10″. These are the first 5 of the group. I plan to paint another 6-9 for this series. Then I’ll choose a group to display at a local gallery here in Pagosa Springs.
