Monarch Mountain Ouray, Colorado Painting

The middle background of the painting reveals white snow capped Monarch Mountain in Ouray Colorado. In the distance the Rocky Mountains are surrounded by white clouds and a vibrant light blue sky. The green colored Alpine trees in the foreground are covered with white and blue tones to form a fluffy winter snow. The layered brush strokes are loose and impressionistic, creating a mosaic of color and light. This large awe-inspiring painting would look great in the entranceway a cabin or mountain home and invokes a dreamlike, serene viewing experience. “I don't like either the word [hike] or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not 'hike!' Do you know the origin of that word saunter? It's a beautiful word. Away back in the middle ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going they would reply, 'A la sainte terre', 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.” ― John Muir
