Red Aspens and Sneffels Peak Original Painting

For the person in your life who gets genuinely excited when the aspens turn, especially when you spot that perfect patch of bright red on the mountainside.

This original acrylic painting captures a fleeting Colorado fall moment, with vibrant orange and red aspens framing the silhouette of Mount Sneffels. I painted it en plein air near Ridgway, Colorado in autumn 2025, chasing that short window when the San Juan Mountains shift color almost overnight.

At 20" x 24", it brings that crisp, high-country fall feeling into your space. This piece is a celebration of seasonal change in the San Juans, and the water cycle that makes it all possible.
