Oil on Canvas, 36” x 24”

This painting is a compilation of research done on various Colorado night skies and a daytime painting of mine created years ago titled “The Town Below”. Before moving west to live amidst the Colorado Rocky Mountains, I’d never seen a night sky so densely packed with stars and constellations. Seeking to pay homage to these dazzling nights of cosmic theater, here I’ve paired the evening glow of downtown Crested Butte Colorado with a classic Colorado night sky bursting with celestial bodies of light and wonder.
