The two peaks are known as West Spanish Peak, elevation 13,626 feet, and East Spanish Peak, elevation 12,688 feet, and are located south of La Veta in southern Colorado.

Prints from my original pastel drawing on paper. In a previous life, I was a farmer, whilst having a day job. It was hard (surprise!), and it deepened my appreciation for farmers who feed and clothe us.
