Rocky Mountain National Park wall art, summer in Estes Park, Colorado wall art, mountain stream, large framed art work
Rocky Mountain National Park is truly a gem in Colorado. This picture is from the park in mid-summer. This peaceful stream flows from the well known Dream Lake in the park. This beautiful picture can be ordered in one of four different materials. Those include fine art prints, ready to hang gallery wrapped canvas or ready to hang eye popping acrylic or metal. Each offers exquisite detail and vivid colors. More details on these choices are found at the bottom of this page below my story.
I love taking pictures of some of the most beautiful places on this amazing planet. What was once a hobby has now become my second career and I absolutely love it! I spent most of my work life in the radio broadcasting arena first as a D.J spinning records while still in high school. Slowly I worked my way up the ladder and eventually became the President of a radio company operating radio stations all over the country.
My last 15 years were spent in Colorado and it was there I started taking pictures of the amazing scenery in the Rocky Mountains. I retired early from radio after severe hearing loss came upon me almost overnight. This shattered by ability to enjoy music anymore which was so awful.
We moved back to Nashville where our family lived. Not knowing what I would do next (I knew I could not return to radio anymore due to my hearing loss). One day some friends saw a few of my mountain pictures in our home and they said……”this stuff is good……people would buy these”. I didn’t believe them at first but I kept hearing it from other friends.
We were planning a summer trip with family heading back out to Colorado for a week. Without telling anyone, I decided to bring a couple canvas pictures on the trip. We were headed to Breckenridge so I brought a few pictures I took there a year earlier.
One morning with almost zero confidence and a fear of being rejected, I walked to Main street with a few of my canvas pictures. To my amazement the first gift store said “Yes, these are good….our customers will love these”. They ordered 6 pictures which totaled less than $400, but to me it was like I hit the jackpot. I was so excited which is a little funny because in my radio career I mentioned 8 figure budgets. I couldn’t wait to share the news with my family.
WOW!!!!! I was on top of the world and a new career was born.
