Dallas Divide, Ridgway, Colorado

Photographic Story

This popular viewpoint at Dallas Divide near Ridgway, Colorado is an amazing place to see the changing of the seasons. Not only do the aspens change from green to hues or yellow, orange and gold, but the underbrush can take on vivid deep reds as well. What I love about this spot though, is the first touch of light on the layers of autumn colors. While the peaks themselves receive the first rays of light, it takes another 15 minutes or so for the sun to rise high enough to crest the mountains in the east and flood this scene with warm sunlight. Those first 30 seconds or so that the sun hits the tops of these trees produces an amazing soft light that just glows with warmth! Within 30 seconds or so, the light gets harsher, though still beautiful. But that first light is something to behold!

Signature Series HD Acrylic Prints (Ready to Hang)

If you’re looking for luxury and quality, then an HD acrylic piece of fine art is the de facto standard! Details from the image emerge from the acrylic in an almost HD-like appearance due due to the transparency layer that is infused with iridium particles and is encapsulated in a layer suspended between the white poly surface and Acrylic. The final product is finished with an recessed float mount that allows for easy hanging without the need of an external frame creating a modern gallery look that is perfect for any home or office. Signed and numbered limited edition print.

Signature Series ROMA Framed Lumachrome (Ready to Hang)

For those wanting something truly spectacular, I offer TruLife acrylic prints framed with Italian hand-made ROMA moulding frames in a variety of styles. Most styles come available in 2", 3" and 4" widths, coupled with white or black linen liners. Framed pieces can also come without a linen liner if you prefer to let the artwork and frame stand out more. ROMA moulding frames are hand crafted in popular styles such as Arber, Tabacchino and Moda lines. The default frame style is ROMA Tabacchino Dark Ash, which is also the most popular of frame choices. Other options are available upon request. Signed and numbered limited edition print.

Signature Series Chromaluxe Metal Prints (Ready to Hang)

Using a method called dye sublimation, Chromaluxe is my choice for metal prints. Chromaluxe metal prints are created by taking an archival fine art print and infusing it into an aluminum sheet, creating a much more durable and visually stunning product than printing directly to aluminum like other metal print methods. Surprisingly light-weight, Chromaluxe metal prints are resistant to scratching while having that shiny, high gloss look that makes an image pop! Signed and numbered limited edition print.

Gallery Plaque Mount Prints (Ready to Hang)

Both elegant and modern in feeling, gallery plaque mount prints are a beautiful addition to my print medium options. Printed on a glossy surface, they are mounted to MDF board and beleved with a black edge. A mini backing is added to the board, allowing the print to float off the wall.

Larson-Juhl Framed Plaque Prints (Ready to Hang)

While gallery plaque mounts are ready to hang as-is, adding a Larson-Juhl frame to a plaque mount creates a touch of elegance to the artwork and makes it really stand out with a unique approach to framed art. The plaque mount sits on a bottom stacked second solid-black plaque, creating a couple of inches of open space between the print and the frame. The result is a piece of art both luxurious and modern! Choose from dozens of Larson-Juhl frame types by contacting me or select one of the popular choices in the options above!
