#14 San Juan Mountains, CO Print

From my April 2020 hand painted watercolor collection, 31 Days of Mini Paintings.  Each of these 4”x4” pieces were inspired by my favorite places I have visited around the world, they each hold very special meaning for me and my loved ones.  As I painted, beautiful memories rushed in my heart of the laughter, joy, hugs, meaningful conversations, and breathtaking views that were inspired by our Creator.  I hope a spark of inspiration springs forth in you as you enjoy your own piece of our blue jewel earth.

I looked out the window of my dads second story condominium at the purple haze of mountains in the distance, it was the first time I think I ever had an actual Aha! moment... ‘Purple mountain majesty’ began playing in my head and I made the connection that ‘America The Beautiful’, a poem turned song by Katherine Lee Bates, must have been talking about this kind of unforgettable beauty. The mountains were really purple and majestic!! We took the ride up Pike’s Peak, trailed on horseback through the Garden of the Gods, my brother and I would go skiing when I visited. He was really good at skiing, living there full time with my dad and his wonderful amazing mom, and would often leave me in a cloud of powder and laugh like all little brothers should. I married an outdoors man, my perfect match in every way, he loves the Colorado mountains too. He went to college in Colorado and had many exciting adventures biking and skiing. This painting of the San Juan Mountains is from a now vintage photograph of him and his buddy at the top of Needles...merged with memories of the majestic purple mountains of my childhood.
