"Cascade Ponds: Warmth Returns | 10"x12" Watercolor on Cold-Press Paper"
Description:
“Cascade Ponds: Warmth Returns” is a serene watercolor study of Cascade Ponds on a warmer day, where the colors of the landscape shift dramatically from the earlier cold days. In this 10"x12" painting, the glowing pink hues beneath the alpine pines, the glowing teal of the water, and the striking sienna of the rocks create a harmonious balance. The backdrop of Cascade Mountain adds to the calm, inviting mood of the scene. The sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a soft warmth over the scene that contrasted against the earlier frozen interpretations of this location. This piece embodies the transformation that nature undergoes with the changing seasons and weather.
Artist Statement:
When I returned to Cascade Ponds on a warmer day, I was struck by how the colors and atmosphere had shifted so dramatically. The vivid pinks and yellows in the bushes beneath the pines created a stark contrast to the icy tones I had captured earlier. This piece represents a moment of warmth amidst the wilds of the Rockies—when the landscape seems to breathe and stretch under the sunlight. The changes in light and color from day to day are one of the most fascinating aspects of working en plein air, and in this piece, I sought to convey the intimate beauty of that transition.
