Description
I wanted to capture the charm of Crested Butte on this one. And this is my love letter to the town packed with all those rich, hidden details that locals and frequent visitors cherish. Buildings clad in vibrant, heavily textured strokes of emerald greens, rustic oranges, deep crimsons, and the electric turquoise leans into the steep narrow building with Crested Butte draws the eye toward city hall, which is currently the home to the Paragon Gallery where I also have my work displayed.
My line work was deliberate most of the way and it really fell into place. I was able to portray the little restaurant symbols, the store signs and street signs to help it feel less like a static postcard and more like a living, breathing celebration of mountain town culture.
Plus you might notice McGill’s big and bold on the left (with a little re-design) as my favorite breakfast joint. It’s super good.
