Outpost features a backcountry tent outpost, watched over by Torrey’s peak in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The original painting was commissioned by Smartwool in 2020 to be used in an apparel line in fall 2021. We The team at Smartwool and I put our heads together to come up with the concept. We settled on featuring oft-visited Colorado wilderness areas and working in some structure that resembled tents and other temporary infrastructures that humans create in order to more deeply submerge themselves in nature. I employed a somewhat retro-feeling palette, so alongside the tent structure I pulled in some architectural elements reminiscent of midcentury styles you can find in the Denver suburbs. PRINT DETAILS:- This is an archival print of my original painting.- Each print is signed on the front.- Frame and mat are NOT included.- All of my prints are produced with professional art materials including pigment-based inks and archival Somerset Velvet fine art paper. -In order to keep your print in great condition it is important to frame with archival materials (mats, backing board, etc.), keep out of direct sunlight, and UV glass if you really want to go all-out!SIZE:- Paper is larger than the listed size, as there is a ~1.25" white border around the actual image to enable easier matting, or float mounting to display the deckled edges of the paper.- Image itself is shrunk down ~1/4" from size listed to expose signature line when matted or framed in the corresponding standard sized mat/frame.
