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.
I haven’t actually walked out there at night but
there is a window right by my bed that looks toward the forest where
this trail is. I often look out at night and am blown away by the number
and high density of stars above. This part of Colorado has the most
incredible night sky. With this painting, I wanted to share this part of
my daily inspiration and I hope that it will find a home with someone
who loves the unique beauty of fresh snow with a sprinkle of a million
stars.
Angle view. The board has a wooden edge that is 2" deep. It has a gloss varnish applied to it.
Detail shot in natural light outside. The painting is done with layers of acrylic wash alternating with detail work created with various thicknesses of acrylic paint markers. It is finished with gloss varnish which creates a shiny, finished look. On the back there is a hook for hanging as well as a certificate of authenticity signed by me - the artist.
