This past weekend I had the pleasure of driving up to Rocky Mountain National Park to take some photo references for future paintings. This was my first experience at the park and I was absolutely stunned by the natural beauty that surrounded me and my sister-in-law.
Even though we visited in the winter season, all of the views seemed to be saturated with color from the trees, snow, rock or sky.
We chose to hike our way up to Dream Lake which is frozen during this time of the year, we were able to walk on the ice and see how some of the water was almost frozen in motion among the rocks. We stayed in this area through sunset and its interesting to see the photo comparisons before and after sunset. Below you can see the color and light changes that happened in the environment after the sun had gone down.
I love seeing these rock formations covered in show because it seems to add definition to theme and a sense of dimensionality.
Overall this was a great experience in nature and a wonderful opportunity to capture some inspirational images for more paintings!
