Geothermal reflections

The story

The scene captured on canvas is an artistic interpretation of Yellowstone’s thermal lakes, a tribute to these geothermal spectacles. The painting is a mirror of the sky, capturing shades of blue, cyan and turquoise in a vibrant show of colors that seem to move and pulse with the earth’s geothermal energy. The mineral deposits at the edges of the thermal pool are delicately rendered, featuring the lacy and delicate details of the crystallizations that outline the lake, while the effects of sulfur and other minerals are represented by bright pigments, adding visual contrast and almost feeling the distinctive scent of these unique places. The embossed textures of the canvas add a tactile dimension that enriches the visual depth of the work.
