Vital Signs: Indian Paintbrush on Vail Mountain

The inspiration for this painting found me in an unlikely place: on a hospital wall while I waited for a test. In that uncertain space, an image of Indian paintbrush on Vail Mountain brought me home—to color, wildness, and the landscape that makes me feel most alive.

Painting it became an act of investing in myself: choosing creativity over fear, beauty over uncertainty, and the life-giving work of making art.

Several color adjustments available!

Two Amazing Finishes:

My Gallery Finish uses the finest materials. This finish provides a three-dimentional feel as the viewer experiences colors through metallic and acrylic finishes.

1/8" Acrylic; glare-free, scratch resistant surface

Aluminum Cleat Back Frame

Metallic Photo Paper

Image Colors appear more brilliant & sharper

Print face is adhered to 1/8” high-gloss acrylic

Back of print is adhered to 1/8” dibond (aluminum composite)

Accented by smooth finished edges

3/4” deep recessed backframe to give “floating” effect

Cleat system for easy and secure hanging

The resolution, clarity, and color of a gallery finish is superior to printing on glass, which is why many galleries and museums use the fine art process of acrylic facemounting.

My Contemporary Finish seems to lift the art off the wall to appear as if it is floating. A more economical option yet stunning results!

Mounted to 1/8” graphic quality tempered masonite

3/4” deep recessed backframe to give “floating” effect
