Garden of the Gods Study II” – Original Watercolor Landscape

Painted from life at Garden of the Gods, this expressive watercolor study captures the iconic red rock formations resting beneath the dramatic rise of Pikes Peak and the Front Range.
In this piece, warm crimson sandstone contrasts with cool alpine blues and soft sage greens, echoing the rhythm of Colorado’s landscape — rugged, layered, and expansive. Loose ink lines anchor the composition while fluid washes preserve the movement of shifting light across the rocks and snow-dusted mountains beyond.
This is a study in atmosphere and contrast — bold yet airy, grounded yet expansive. The simplified forms allow color and shadow to carry the story, making it a striking but serene addition to modern interiors.
