Take Me Home

Summer | Late Afternoon | Rocky Mountains, Colorado | 11×14

The summer sun begins its descent over Steamboat’s Rocky Mountain landscape in this warm gouache painting that captures the golden hour glow across alpine peaks and a camp ground. This Colorado mountain painting evokes the feeling of discovering wild places that somehow feel like home.

Colorado resident Diana Rojas share’s what these lands mean to her, “I was seven years old when my parents brought me to the US from Mexico in 2001. They settled in Colorado because a family friend lived here. Over two decades have passed since then and I have found no reason to leave this beautiful state. From camping along the serene South Platte River to soaking in majestic views of the Rocky Mountains while walking our dogs on the Cherry Creek Trail, Colorado’s landscapes have never failed to amaze me. Although I didn’t have a say in where my parents brought me so many years ago, I’m incredibly grateful they chose this wonderful state.

The late afternoon light, and Diana’s words, illuminates why these public lands matter—they offer everyone the chance to come home to the wilderness, to find belonging in spaces that welcome all who seek them.

Title of Piece based off the song: Take Me Home, Country Road by John Denver

About This Land is OUR Land Collection Description:

This Land is OUR Land is a hand-painted gouache collection of nine panoramic landscapes celebrating America’s wild places from California to Maine. Created in direct response to the summer 2025 threat to our public lands, each piece is named after classic songs that speak to our shared American experience. The series can be displayed as individual paintings or lined up together to create one continuous panoramic view of the Continental United States. Following the journey of a single day from sunrise to sunrise and progressing through all four seasons, this collection reminds us that these lands belong to everyone. No AI art—every brushstroke is created by hand. 10% of proceeds from this collection for the month of November 2025 will be donated to Colorado Wildlife Federation to support their conservation and education efforts and continue to keep our lands public.
