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.
This painting was inspired by one of the neatest mountain scenes that I got to experience in person. Mt Rainier is a sight to behold. It protrudes up toward the heavens and towers above its surroundings. When you look up, you have a feeling that if you climb up, you’d surely be able to touch the sky or even jump into a whole new universe from up there. On that bright September day, Rainier was veiled in the brightest, most beautiful colors that I’ve ever seen.
The hike up to Opal Lake is a local treasure. It is a gentle couple mile walk up through a beautiful forest which is perfect for our little family. The hike is short and easy but when you catch the landscape
under the right light, the views equal those of places that may require a more extraneous, longer hike.
This painting is inspired by the mountain view along the trail across the road from where I live in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. This is where I take my kids for little forest walks. Its a beautiful trail any time of the year. But anytime after it would snow, the snow covered pines are completely mesmerizing.
