Rose and Lavender Mountain Galaxies

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.

Wintry Night Sky Symphony

Every night that I go to bed, I look out my window toward the cosmos. Its not exactly intentional. I’ve never been a particularly cosmic person, growing up in Warsaw, Poland and then in the NJ suburbs and finally New York City in my early adulthood, I wasn’t exposed to the magnificence of the night sky on a regular basis. As I became immersed in the great outdoors in my early adulthood, I got to enjoy the night sky more and more.

Crystal Winter Morning

In this new painting, I strove to convey the pristine, breathtaking look of Winter in Colorado. Its been snowing here in Pagosa Springs where I live and I felt particularly inspired. Sometimes I look out the window at the snowy wonderland and admire the beauty while at the same time, I am fascinated by how cold the season can get and I’m comforted by all the warm, cozy blankets around me =) Sometimes it feel like you can almost see the crystals forming in the air around you. I kept that thought in my mind while I painted and wanted to capture the fidget yet beautiful feeling of Winter.
