- Description

This project was inspired by the Front Range and the surrounding Natural Areas along the Poudre Trail such as Kingfisher Point.
It shows the foothills in the background. The planting of native sunflowers to help rehabilitate our Natural Areas inspired the foreground. Shawna wanted to provide a novel element in addition to painting that would create interest and movement. The chain link fence led to the idea of hanging the blue acrylic circles to represent the shimmering Cache la Poudre River.
