Artist Comments
The winter landscape painting captures a lone car slowly making its way down a snow-covered mountain pass. The orange sky adds a surrealistic touch to the scene, blurring the line between dreams and reality. Varying shades of blue define the trees and emphasize the slopes. The artwork is part of artist Phyllis Anderson's series depicting dramatic views of Berthoud Pass in Colorado.
About the Artist
Artist Phyllis Anderson creates landscapes inspired by the mountains and wilderness of the American West. "Through my work, I celebrate a mythic vision of wilderness and the enduring mysteries of the high country," says Phyllis. Working in acrylic, she layers pastel, charcoal, and pencil over paint to create expressive surfaces filled with vivid color, fragmented imagery, and dynamic mark-making. Her landscapes are rooted in places she has personally explored, many inspired by photographs taken while traveling through Colorado. In 2015, a professional development workshop with a gallery owner encouraged Phyllis to approach her art practice with greater intention, helping shape the career she continues to build today. She works between two studios, a home workspace for smaller paintings and storage, and a public studio where she creates larger works while engaging with fellow artists and visitors. Outside the studio, Phyllis enjoys hiking, skiing, volunteering at local art centers, and supporting her cooperative gallery.

Gallatin Range, Original Painting
By Jill Poyerd
Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
A monumental view of the Hyalite Reservoir in The Gallatin National Forest stands beautifully in artist Jill Poyerd's magnificent panoramic landscape. The snowcapped fields and mountains give off a pristine white glow against the multitude of bristly pine trees. Muted earth tones enhance the soft yellow tones in the lower sky, creating a natural and subtle color scheme. By paling the values as the scene recedes, Jill provides a feeling of expanse and depth.
About the Artist
Jill E Poyerd brings "peaceful, contemplative moments" to life on the canvas. She approaches the canvas with little preparation, instead allowing herself total freedom to create. Both her watercolor and oil painting works depict gorgeous scenes of nature with a style distinctly her own. Something as common as a tree appears soft and ethereal through Jill's painterly style.
