  • These intimate scenes, so typical of beautiful Colorado, provide meaningful opportunity for reflection on the interdependency of life; looking upstream through golden cottonwoods to the distant mountains that feed the stream at one’s feet. Ultimately I wanted to recreate a feeling of peacefulness. While Colorado can be stunning in the Fall, using EVERY color on the spectrum can lead to paintings that make your eyeballs ache! So the challenge is how to create unity and harmony while celebrating the variety. In order to showcase the seasonal gold, I toned down the greens, switched my sky blue to cerulean, and linked passages with neutrals made from existing rather than new and unique hues. Rather than overwhelm, I hope I have created the feeling of dappled light and shadow passing through a harmonious spectrum of color.
