I am not an artist, but I can see one common denominator amongst our local artists who live in the Southwest Colorado. The Lone Cone Mountain. If you are unfamiliar with the Lone Cone it is a volcanic mountain that is part of the San Juan mountain range. Located South of Norwood and west of Telluride Colorado, the Lone Cone is just as its name describes.
A lone mountain with no surrounding siblings on the horizon.
Strikingly beautiful in all seasons, in the winter its capped in snow with its base covered in bare limbed Aspens, Scrub Oaks and snow dusted Pines. Spring and Summer bring life to the mountain with budding green trees and grassy hillsides turning bright, fed by fresh snow melt and sunshine. Then Fall follows portraying a starkly dark beauty shrouded in the colorful foliage of Autumn.
With all these stunning seasonal changes this is one inspiring volcanic mountain.
Below we have composed some incredible pieces of Lone Cone Art. Paintings, woodblock art, and photography are among the various mediums used to immortalize the majestic mountain.

What if I like more than one? They are in two different categories. One is real the other one is kind of abstract.
