Yellowstone (rotated)

This abstract composition captures the raw, elemental beauty of Yellowstone's geothermal features, where pools of brilliant turquoise water meet rust-colored mineral deposits along the earth's surface. The artist has rotated the perspective, creating an almost cosmic effect that makes you question whether you're looking down at a hot spring or up at a nebula. The swirling whites suggest steam rising from heated water, while the deep blues and burnt oranges recall the vivid, almost unnatural colors created by heat-loving bacteria and mineral-rich waters.

Catherine de Potter's work transforms a natural landscape into something that feels both familiar and otherworldly. By shifting the orientation, she invites us to see these geological wonders with fresh eyes, as if discovering them for the first time. The painterly quality gives the piece an impressionistic feel, where the essence of the place matters more than photographic accuracy, capturing the mysterious beauty of one of nature's most dramatic environments.
