The Fraser River moves slowly beneath the late light, its surface dark and cool against the warmth of Spring brush. The distant snow on Byers Peak glows faintly, hinting at the colder air still hanging on in the high country. Along the banks, color lingers in the willows and grasses, holding the promise of summer.
This painting captures that quiet in-between season in Colorado, when the last snow has fallen and the land begins to feel alive with color. It’s a moment of still water and soft air, where everything seems to pause before summer takes hold.
