Horse Creek Cottonwoods

This painting is from an area that the artist considers his “backyard”, just a few miles from his home and studio. It’s a winter scene that makes him glad he lives in the Colorado mountains. Typical of the area, the painting features a magnificent, snowy foreground that opens up and invites you through space by utilizing backlight as a warm and welcoming environment and focus point. This oil on linen painting is a stunning portrait of nature showing the pure spirt of a cold morning in nature.
