Dillon Reservoir Sunset
Dillon Reservoir Sunset
Story Behind The Art
Soft pastel on paper
Air. One of the 5 elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether). We often think of it only when the high winds come or we can't catch our breath, but air has a soft side to. She dances through the sky moving the clouds, creating shapes and layers of colors that will never repeat the same way twice. I always thought I was drawn to bodies of water, being the water bearer in my Zodiac sign, but I actually think its the way that air sculpts water. Whether she is carving new edges by pushing water through the river beds, taking a break with the still waters of a lake, or moving through the rhythms with waves of the ocean, air is moving us all.
This sunset over Dillon Reservoir is air in motion. She stays still in the waters, creating a glass like lake, but in the sky, she pulses with passion layering light and shadow and color in a scene of poetry.
Care
To ensure the longevity of your piece please frame right away. Natural light and exposure to air or water are the enemy of artwork. A glass frame (as opposed to plastic) is always preferred. Choose a spot on the wall out of direct sunlight. For original artworks I always suggest having them framed by a professional framer for a sealed back that further portects your artwork.
