Description
Original watercolor painting, 'Colorado Summer Scene', by Lynn Cyrus / Cascade Colors. This colorful summer landscape is filled with bright blue, yellow, green, and purple tones. Pink and yellow wildflowers dot the foreground of a rolling meadow near treeline, in the high country of the Rocky Mountains. Pine forest stretches into the distance, and the hint of a mountain ridge descends to the ground in the background. There is so much beautiful wilderness to explore in the Rockies; this particular scene was inspired by an area near the Blue Lakes, beneath the summit of the 14er mountain Mount Sneffels, near the community or Ouray. This stretch of mountains is known as the San Juans range, and it receives higher levels of rain and snow and thus has brilliant displays of flowers during the short summer growing season.
