While his forte is capturing the pristine beauty of the American West in all its diversity, lakes and streams highlighted by the melding of autumn into winter are often prevalent themes in Colorado-based painter David W. Mayer’s sparkling landscapes. By combining a refined sense of color with his ability to distill and synthesize these settings into their basic essence, Mayer captivates his collectors with canvases depicting the changing of the seasons in the Big Horn Valley of Wyoming, snowy pines cradling high lakes in Glacier National Park, and the fiery foliage lining Colorado’s South Platte River.

“While climate changes are affecting Glacier National Park, Iceberg Lake is still snow- and ice-packed for much of the year and is one of the most scenic areas in the park.”
