22" x 28" x 2", Oil on stretched cotton canvas.
Rocky Mountain National Park has long been my greatest artistic muse. For some time, a big studio goal of mine was to create a large-scale Western work that captured even a piece of the majesty surrounding Dream Lake, in particular.
This painting was created, altered, refined, and ultimately finished over the course of nearly two years. During that time, I made two plein air trips – in winter and summer - to paint this landscape from life and work to truly understand my subject.
Many of those trips were shared with my now-husband, whom I married just under two months ago, and those experiences ultimately inspired a romantic twist on the classic Western mountain scene.
It is with a slight ache in my heart that I offer this painting up, with the hope that it will bring light, love, and the brilliant color of the Colorado mountains into a wonderful home.
