I painted this night sky painting for my sister Gosia. We wanted her to come along on a recent Tucson Road Trip with us but she couldn’t make it this time around. So in good spirit we brought her painting with us and it did some sightseeing for her, then we shipped it to her from Arizona. The painting enjoyed a lovely sunset among the Saguaros and even camped with us, then it traveled all the way to New Jersey where it now had a loving home.

In both the paintings in this post, 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. And I’ve seen evergreens draped in that beautifully colored hue as well. Winter provides unique opportunities for enjoying brief moments of spectacular colors. With my painting I wanted to capture that by combining various real inspirations into a fantastical landscape from my dreams.

The painting below is inspired by the same concept at the Rose Colored one but with keeping Lavender shades as the driving inspiration for the color palette.

Winter in the Rocky Mountains

I had an extended break following the completion of my Autumn Collection. It felt good to pick up the paintbrush and my paint markers. These small works are the start of my Winter Collection. Here I focused on early morning and night scenes.
