Cottonwoods On The Animas
Cottonwoods on the Animas
By Sarah St. George
Cottonwoods on the Animas is a luminous exploration of light, shadow, and the lush river corridors of the American West. Created by Colorado-based artist Sarah St. George, this 8 x 16 inch pastel on panel captures the vibrant, fleeting greens of cottonwood trees as they catch the afternoon sun against a backdrop of deep, atmospheric mountains.
St. George utilizes the soft, painterly qualities of pastel to render the flickering foliage and the gentle movement of the river with a sense of Impressionist ease. The horizontal "letterbox" composition emphasizes the expansive nature of the landscape while keeping the viewer’s focus on the intimate, cool environment of the riverbank. It is a piece that radiates warmth and serenity, celebrating the unique natural beauty of the Durango region.
