Rustic Sunrise

from $34.00

I was back at the edge of the pond early the next morning, my core objective being to capture the exact same composition from the evening before. I wanted the old log barn on the right frame and the still water in the foreground, but this time I wanted it illuminated by the very first rays of morning sunlight hitting the face of the Sawatch Range.

I set up my tripod in the bitter morning chill. The mountain air was sharp, and my hands were stinging as I stood by the water, waiting for the sun to finally clear the horizon behind me.

As the twilight began to soften, the landscape gave me a small, unexpected gift. A lone beaver emerged from the edge of the pond, swimming back and forth across the glass-like surface. He was entirely focused on his morning chores, carrying mouthfuls of grasses and twigs to a nearby dam.

I watched his progress with a mix of fascination and mild anxiety, hoping his ripples wouldn't ruin the shot. Fortunately, his wake stayed close to the banks and didn't disrupt the center of the pool, leaving the mountain reflection perfectly intact.

When the sun finally broke over the horizon, the transformation was instant. The highest peaks of the range erupted into a brilliant, fiery orange-gold that burned intensely against the cool, waking blue of the western sky. In the mirror of the water, the symmetry was flawless, capturing a split second where the ruggedness of the rock met the absolute stillness of a Colorado morning.

Rustic Sunrise offers a brilliant balance of warm alpine light and cool, grounding earth tones. Because the composition features the rich textures of the historic log barn alongside a vibrant mountain reflection, this piece serves as a magnificent centerpiece for spaces that celebrate traditional western heritage. The striking orange-gold peaks create a powerful visual draw, making this print a compelling acquisition for anyone looking to bring the warm, restorative energy of a Rocky Mountain daybreak into their daily environment.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
