Just finished a brand new painting titled "Indian Peaks Wilderness". Boy does it feel good to finish a painting that takes so long to complete! This one is of a sunrise scene I capture years ago at Lake Isabelle in the front range of Colorado. I remember this morning well. It was very cold and windy and overcast. Daryl and I woke up and hiked here way before dawn and were sure the clouds would block the sun from hitting the mountains for sunrise. To our surprise, they lifted just as the sun came up and illuminated the peaks with a bright orange. It was breathtaking!
Below are some progress photos and the actual photo of the reference shot used to make this artwork:
