The "Rainbow Trout" drawing was completed in 2022 by artist Cherie L. Smittle featuring a Rainbow Trout with Longs Peak, Glacier Gorge, and Half Mountain as seen from Bear Lake in Estes Park Colorado during the fall.
This illustration features a fish, specifically a rainbow trout, with a autumn color palette. The trout's body contains a mountain landscape illustration, showing Longs Peak, Glacier Gorge and Half Mountain as seen from Bear Lake in Estes Park Colorado. The base of the image depicts forests, and the sky is a gradient blending from warm yellow to pink. The tail is decorated with vibrant, abstract patterns resembling fall leaves or confetti in various colors, which give a shimmering effect.
The Story: One autumn day in Bear Lake, near Estes Park, a rainbow trout named Ember noticed a path of drifting leaves leading her to new, deeper waters. Curious, she followed, swimming beneath the fiery reds and golds. Soon, she found herself in a part of the lake where the water reflected Longs Peak, Glacier Gorge, and Half Mountain, their snow-dusted peaks framed by autumn’s colors.
Mesmerized by the towering mountains mirrored above her, Ember felt a thrill she’d never known. With one last glance at the breathtaking view, she turned back, feeling the quiet magic of the mountains within her.
