“Garden of the Gods Study” – Original, 9x12” on 140lb pressed paper

Inspired by the dramatic red rock formations of Garden of the Gods, this original watercolor study captures the layered majesty of the American West in a loose, expressive style.
Painted on location, this piece reflects the striking contrast between the fiery sandstone ridges and the cool, distant blue mountains beneath a golden sun. The fluid ink lines and organic washes preserve the immediacy of the moment — wind in the air, shifting light across the rock faces, and the quiet grandeur that makes this landscape so iconic.
This is a study — meaning it holds movement, spontaneity, and artistic energy. It’s not overly refined; it’s alive. Perfect for collectors who love gestural, modern landscape work with depth and emotion.
