Blue Mesa Reservoir sunset Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
Colorado's largest body of water, about twenty miles long when the reservoir is full, on the upper Gunnison River. The sun sets late behind the Black Canyon country to the west, and for an hour the water carries the colour the sky is giving up. Highway 50 runs the north shore the whole way. Anglers come for the kokanee. The marina at Elk Creek sits below the bluff where most photographers stand. The drought years left bathtub rings on the canyon walls. The water has come back, partway, and the evenings still do what evenings here have always done.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
