Description

Medium: Oil on wood

year: 2014

Did this on a scholarship trip to Anderson Ranch in Snowmass Colorado. We only had a week to make a painting, and everyone was doing just landscape painting. nothing else. And I hate doing landscape paintings, so I took parts that where most noticeable around me. One being the magpies. Beautiful birds. I was so happy to be able to get a few of their blue tinted feathers and white wing feathers. But I can just remember them squawking at each other at 5 am. Another where the poppy flowers that I saw everywhere. Being from Chicago, both of them where something you hardly ever see. Everyone pictures of the snow capped mountains, and I thought itd be corny to paint that. So I connected the product of Opium produced by poppies to the dead magpie with the slow killing smoke that goes though it. I had a wonderful time there, and Ill definitely come back.
