In this Southwestern Landscape Painting, titled "Spanish
Peaks" I was commissioned to create an image of the Spanish
Peaks which are in southern Colorado. Part of the requirements
were to make the peaks the dominate subject at dusk with the
sun setting behind the peaks in such away that all the elements
supported the majesty and mystery of the peaks themselves. When
creating an artwork that has the subject in backlight and at
dusk the central subject itself is bound to be deep in contrast
to the luminosity of the sky. A painter can ask their self is
this possible? the answer is of course yes, because the nature
of this environment is that of great contrast between the depth
of a long dwindling , melding of the physical attributes of the
world as seen by the viewer of this incredibly ocenonic high
desert athsmosphere with great mountains rising island like from
the floor of the great spance of this particular area. Apparently
from the dawn of time people have been using these beautiful
peaks as a land mark to guide them on their voyage both physically
and otherwise. |
