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.

This painting is inspired by Summer nights in the Rocky Mountains. Right around the Summer Solstice,  the weather warms up in the high country, the meadows green up and begin to be blanketed by colorful wildflowers. The surrounding mountains are lush and green and full of life. Add a moonless night with clear skies and the sky can be filled with more stars than there are wild flowers in the meadows. I wanted to create a magical, little painting that seems to be bursting with color and mystic found in remote wilderness.
