Description
Blue and Gold
*****
Blue and Gold is a landscape depiction of the part of the Tenmile mountain range, as seen from Breckenridge, Colorado, painted in rich jewel tones with moody sunset skies. To create this painting, I first prepared a regular canvas with Daniel Smith gold watercolor ground, and then used that gold canvas as my watercolor painting surface. The gold surface can be seen any place paint was not thickly applied, giving a unique and atmospheric quality to the gorgeous mountain view, with both hazy and clear areas, and vibrant colors mellowed somewhat by the metallic undertone.
*****
This painting was part of a series of works interpreting the view over the landscape behind the home of a friend who lives in Breckenridge and has the good fortune to see this scene every day and in all kinds of weather. With each painting in the series I tried to take a different approach, use a different medium, or show variance in the mood, with the landscape. A river passes through thick brush, bushes and grassy areas, with trails used both by wildlife and outdoorsmen, beyond which lies a line of trees, and further in the distance a striking chain of mountains much beloved by skiers and hikers of the region.
*****
The edges of the canvas have been painted the same shade of blue as the trees, so the painting can be presented without further effort, however it would also look spectacular if thoughtfully framed.
