Description
With “Bikes, Bright, and Mountain Heights”, I wanted capture the soaring beauty of Crested Butte while having a little bit of fun with our changing town dynamics. This piece burst with a kaleidoscope of vivid red, yellows, and deep blues, leading the eye straight up to the snow-dusted peak dominating the skyline. Look closely at the center of the street, and you will spot a restaurant sitting right out in the middle of he road. It is my playful way of mocking the new town rules that allow outdoor dining spaces to sprawl out into our thoroughfares. By mixing local humor and architectural commentary with dramatic, swirling skies and scattered bicycles, this painting celebrates the quirky, energetic, and sometimes controversial evolution our mountain community.
