Description
This is my fourth or fifth Camp 4 Coffee shake-up painting, and I titled it “The Promise of Winter.” I painted it in hope that we will get a lot of good snow this season, especially since we didn’t get very much last year.
This piece is special because it is the first one where I included the entire Camp 4 building. I shook up the town architecture to bring in some of my favorite local landmarks, featuring Slogar’s, the historic church bell tower, and the old Brick Oven sitting right behind Camp 4 Coffee. Including the Brick Oven is a bit of an homage for me since I seem to add it into most of my town scenes. Packed with iconic details like the snow-covered skis, the bike parked in the drift, and the prayer flags against a massive Mount Crested Butte background, it really captures the classic spirit of a mountain winter.
