Dream Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park Landscape, Canvas Print

Over five years ago (time flies!) I hiked up to Dream Lake with 20 Ibs of painting gear and had the most glorious afternoon painting plein air. The air was crisp, and the water was an immense teal so clear that fishing seemed a completely unfair endeavor. Truth is that I was more content in just watching a small trout dance along the shore than catching it. Lately, Dream Lake has been calling me.

"Dream Lake" is a fine art archival canvas print, of an original oil painting by artist Shirley Bales. Add a little nature and authenticity to your space with this Rocky Mountain statement piece.
