Blue River Eve

This painting presented a special challenge for me. It was commissioned by the Town of Silverthorne (Colorado) for their 2007 Blue River Festival poster. All previous Festival Artists had chosen a daylight scene, so I decided to try an evening view using a composite of two sites: The Red Chief Mountain, with a north-south angle, and the river, which also runs south-north. To make the composition work, I turned the river east-west. It was a fun exercise in artistic prerogative.
