Golden Mountain Sunset

Golden Mountain Sunset, acrylic on board, 8″x10″, 2022

Having lived in Colorado since 2012, I’ve been enjoying incredible mountain sunsets ever since. Recently, I’ve explored this theme in a few new paintings. This one was inspired by the mountains near where I live. Some are really jagged and wild looking, including Chimney Rock which is near Pagosa Springs where I live. The scenery in the painting is inspired by the San Juan and the Sangre de Cristo mountains but is not any exact place, more like a compilation of great memories.
