Foothills Sunset

"Foothills Sunset" by Scott Ruthven
5"x7" Oil on panel - Varnished
Sold

These are the foothills west of Fort Collins, Colorado.  I painted this on site as the sun was going down.  I love the warm orange light striking the back of the hills and glowing on the trees and shrubs at the top edges contrasted against the cool blues and purples at the base of the foothills.

  2. Beautiful painting. I love the openess of the landscape. It draws one to want to hike there.
