Acrylic Original Painting “Cosmic Red, White, and Blue” Pikes Peak and the Milky Way

Pikes Peak is an ultra-prominent, 14,115-foot (4,302 m) mountain summit located in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, just west of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Known as "America's Mountain," it is the most visited mountain summit in North America. The peak famously inspired Katharine Lee Bates to write the lyrics to the patriotic anthem "America the Beautiful" after she experienced the panoramic views from its summit.

Colorado features some of the darkest skies and highest altitude stargazing locations in the United States, making it a premier destination to view and photograph the Milky Way. Because of its dry air and vast pockets of undeveloped mountain territory, the state is home to numerous officially designated International Dark Sky places. The galactic core is visible from March to October, with the absolute peak viewing season occurring during late summer and early autumn when the galaxy's center rises highest in the sky.

This original acrylic painting "Cosmic Red, White, and Blue" shows Pikes peak with the milky way above it in the nights sky in red, white, and blue. This painting was inspired by July 4th, 2026 which was the 250th anniversary celebration for the United States of America. This painting is on wood and measures approximately 5 inches by 5 inches.
