Wintery Teton Night Painting

With this painting, I worked from my imagination to create a dreamy, night scene of Wyoming's Teton Moubntains that I've been lucky enough to have gotten to visit a few times. Painting this was a meditative process where I enjoyed experimenting with layering acrylic wash until I would arrive at the place I wanted to stand to watch the night sky. I aimed for this scene to feel mystical and awe inspiring. Imagine driving through here on a clear, dark night and being so struck by the beauty of the surrounding mountains and trees and the above milkyway that you'd have to pull over, get out of the car and just stand in the cold, taking in the magic of the night.
