Original artwork description:

This original watercolor painting captures the majestic presence of Pikes Peak as seen from the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Soft, layered washes of blues, purples, and dusty pinks suggest the shifting light of early morning or late afternoon, giving the mountain a luminous, almost dreamlike quality. The rugged slopes are depicted with loose, expressive brushstrokes, blending earthy browns and forest greens to hint at the rocky terrain and scattered pine trees. In the foreground, hints of golden grasslands and winding trails lead the eye toward the distant summit, evoking a sense of awe and quiet adventure. The transparent nature of the watercolor medium allows the scene to feel light and expansive, filled with the crisp, invigorating air of the high country.
