Sangre de Cristo Fall Splendor

MARTHA MARKS COMMENTS ON BERNARD MARKS’ BIG, SQUARE OIL PAINTING “SANGRE DE CRISTO FALL SPLENDOR”:

The Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains — locally known simply as “The Sangres” — is spectacular in any season. But it comes into its own most vividly in the fall. That’s when the aspens turn mountainsides into sheets of yellow and the cottonwoods do the same with river corridors.

In this painting, Bernie captured that glorious season with a clean, crisp, modern style. It’s one of the last pieces he made, and clearly he wasn’t slipping a bit when he painted it. This website is the only place it’s ever been publicly displayed.

If you like aspens, please check out all Bernie’s other gorgeous paintings featuring aspens: Aspen Glory,” “Aspens in the Morning Light,” “Aspen Patterns,” “Aspen Shadows,” “Aspen Vista,” and “Sangre de Cristo Fall Splendor.”
