Lupine Flowers | Crested Butte, Colorado
What an incredible sight of lush lupine flowers backed by a forest of Colorado aspen trees. It is very difficult to convey, even in a panoramic image the size of this field and the size of the flowers. Their blooms come once a year and last probably about two weeks only. Nevertheless, if one is lucky enough to visit this place while the lupines are in full bloom it can be a magical experience.
In the Crested Butte, Colorado area the lupine flowers can grow taller than two feet. What you see in this image is one of the largest lupine wildflower gardens I have ever seen. It is nestled in front of a forest and a tiny trail weaves through it. Taking a stroll through it is so peaceful and fulfilling. It is amazing to me that something like this can happen out in nature without the intervention of humans. That is why I call God the Master Artist and feel privileged to be able to capture such live fine art with my camera.
The lupine flowers of Colorado are the same genus that Carl Linnaeus named in 1753. The name Lupin or Lupine comes from the Latin word Lupus, which means “wolf”. The reason for the plant to be given such a name was because of an incorrect superstition. The belief was that the lupine flowers destroyed the richness of the soil they grew upon. However, the contrary is actually true. Lupins are part of the Legume family, which are also called Nitrogen fixers. This means that these plants can collect Nitrogen from the air and share it with other plants nearby through their roots.
The lupine flowers are one of my favorites and I feel blessed that they abound in Colorado. They always present eye-catching opportunities for fine art nature photography. However, even if a person is not a photographer one can truly enjoy the delicate beauty of these fascinating wildflowers.
This is the absolute highest luxury, museum quality product in fine art printmaking on the market today. Acrylic prints boast a tremendous range of vivid and bright colors, incredible sharpness and clarity, and an anti-reflective acrylic surface. Put together, these qualities result in an almost 3D looking showpiece, which immediately captivates and impresses the viewer. TruLife® acrylic prints are a fully finished wall art product, ready to be hung on your wall.
Lumachrome acrylic fine art prints reflect light with amazing luminescence due to the Iridium metal particles used in the print inks. Because of this, these museum quality prints appear as if they are lit from behind. In addition, the colors are amazingly vibrant and well saturated, while the dark areas maintain great detail. Furthermore, I use the anti-reflection, scratch resistant, and UV protective TruLife® acrylic as a standard on my limited edition prints.
Metal prints are a paperless fine art photographic product. The inks are directly infused and sealed onto an aluminum sheet, in order to produce this gallery quality, luxury artwork. ChromaLuxe metal prints result in a stunning, high-gloss fine art image, with bright and saturated colors. Metal prints have incredible image quality, archival properties, and physical durability.
Research has shown that ChromaLuxe metal prints will outlast, by three times, silver-halide photographic paper prints. Besides, metal prints are a remarkable high definition product, delivering high quality at a slightly lower price, compared to acrylic prints.
Large format print sizes with great quality are available for your interior. As a landscape nature photographer, I pride myself on being able to produce huge prints with sharpness and detail. Although prints are available in custom sizes, my typical dimensions are: PANORAMIC – 20×60, 30×90, 40×120 and STANDARD – 30×45, 40×60, 48×72. You can learn the difference between panoramic and standard prints on my print sizes page. There you will also find visualization tools to help you see how different size large format prints fit inside a home decor.
