Description
Original watercolor painting, 'View from Atop Castle Peak', by Lynn Cyrus / Cascade Colors. This has become one of my favorite subject matters to paint. I have not encountered, yet, a more beautiful view from atop a 14er (fourteener). The mountains surrounding Castle Peak, which is near Aspen, Colorado, are of such a wide array of colors, from rich maroon to a more burnt orange and yellow, to an almost bluish purple. The mountain peaks are of interesting shapes as well, from more craggy and jagged, to the almost perfectly shaped pyramid in the foreground of this piece. This painting is based off of a a photograph I took from the summit of Castle Peak in early September. A fresh dusting of snow was covering some of the mountain peaks, and it was a perfect clear day. This view is from a height of over 14,000 feet above sea level. Fourteener mountains are popular hiking destinations, and this painting would be perfect for the fourteener enthusiast!
