Paintings of Colorado

The vast vistas, widely ranging landscapes, and incredible natural colors of Colorado have inspired varied artists, including Carlota D. Espinoza, John Edward Thompson, Thomas Moran, Birger Sandzén, and Erin Hanson. From the High Plains to the Rocky Mountains and everywhere in between, Colorado is home to incredible vistas that change with the seasons. This gem is a particularly lovely place to go leaf-peeping, and many of Hanson's works explore Colorado during the fall when many-hued leaves offer a variegated landscape for her to study with palette and brush.

This painting was inspired by October explorations in Colorado, seeking out the brilliant color changes of the aspens and cottonwoods. The brush strokes are thick and impressionistic, creating a mosaic of color and texture across the canvas. This painting was created over 24 karat gold leaf, applied directly to the canvas as an "underpainting." The thin sheets of genuine gold gleam with subtle light from between the brush strokes, catching the eye and making the painting seem to glow from within. This style of painting is almost a Gustav Klimt meets Van Gogh.
