Description
Original watercolor painting, 'Rocky Mountain Sunset', by Lynn Cyrus / Cascade Colors. The composition of this painting is based off of a morning winter photo I took in Rocky Mountain National Park, however I was inspired to shift the season and time to a spring/summer sunset, filling the image with warm pink, purple, green, yellow, and orange tones. Aspen trees, part of a forest grove, rise in the foreground, their leaves highlighted by the setting sun. Shadows cross the meadow, and mountains rise in the background, with evening sunlit clouds filling the sky. This preserved wilderness of the Colorado Rockies is near the community of Estes Park, in the Front Range.
