Sunrise Over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains

Sunrise Over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains , acrylic on board, 16″x20″ (17″x21″ framed), 2022

This painting is inspired by the rising sun over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Mosca, Colorado. That’s where I am building a sculpture park and the surrounding mountain views are so inspiring. The sun peaking over the jagged mountains, igniting the sky and giving form to the mountains is breathtaking in the San Luis Valley. This painting is not of any particular part of the view of these mountains but more so an imagined view from memories of many such places.
