Sunset Over Max Patch

Details

This piece is based on photos taken from atop Max Patch (a bald mountain in Hot Springs, NC) on the night I proposed to my partner. Though we had discussed the topic before, I had not intended to ask her that night. But as we sat in that meadow, watching one of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen, the question began to burn a hole in my chest, and I knew that I could not come down from that mountain without asking it. I have recreated this magical moment before in watercolor, collage, and line etching, and now here in Posca acrylic marker for this vibrant, tiny landscape. (In case there was any doubt, she did say “yes” ☺️). Made in Asheville, NC. ** Please note that while care has been taken to ensure colors are as true-to-life as possible, all screens are different, and colors may appear slightly different in person.**
