Kelly Frappier Larson

I don’t keep a sketchbook habit—instead, I work out ideas, compositions, and colorways through collage. These are little time capsules of my creative process, blending scraps from my palettes with playful drawings.
Next week, I’m releasing a batch of these double-matted, framed originals.

"Golden Glow at Riverbend Crossing," where nature's beauty unfolds in a vibrant symphony of colors. A stream meanders through the majestic mountains, its waters glistening in the golden light of sunset. On one side of the river bend, a rugged landscape of scree and rocky fields stretches out, while wildflowers and sagebrush blanket the other side in a riot of color.

Completed this 36"x48" oil paiting a couple weeks ago and its just waiting for varnish! Look out for "Golden Glow at Riverbend Crossing" and the rest of the Inward Journey Outward collection releasing on March 14th 🎨🌄
