Under the Third
Under the Third is a Boulder, Colorado wildlife print made on a bitter cold day beneath the Flatirons, when a small group of mule deer were feeding quietly in a snowy meadow. When I first spotted them, the Third Flatiron sat far back in the distance. I knew the image would only work if I could line the deer and that landmark up in the same frame—close, low, and patient.
So I did what the moment asked for: I crawled on my belly through the snow for a few hundred feet, stopping often and letting the animals watch me without feeling threatened. That slow approach changed everything. The deer stayed calm, the composition tightened, and the Flatiron finally settled into place behind them. The stormy haze and muted winter tones helped simplify the scene even more—grass, fog, stone, and an animal perfectly still in the middle of it.
If you’re looking for Boulder Colorado wall art or a Flatirons wildlife print with a quiet winter mood, Under the Third is one of my favorite ways to bring Colorado’s foothills and wildlife into a home or office.

Print Size
- All prints come with a 1.5 inch white border. All sizes listed on the website are of the actual printed image. For example, a 10”x10” photo will be on a 13”x13” piece of paper, a 16”x24” photo will be printed on a 19”x27” paper. This will make framing easier and ensure that the photo will not be covered by the frame or matting. If you need help with sizing then click here to message me.
Superimposing
- If you cannot decide on which image to select you may send me a photo of your room/space and I’d be happy to digitally superimpose up to a few images on your wall. This way you can vizualize how it will look in your room next to your lava lamp.
Paper and Print Quality
- These are not just posters! I've tested many papers that show my work in the best way possible, using paper from manufactures that were founded in the 1500s – yes, well before the 1980s! These papers and inks are of archive quality and are designed to last a really, really long time. They're thick and show color and light contrast well. Avoid touching printed area or exposure to direct sunlight.
Computer screen vs Paper
- Please be aware that the appearance of prints may differ from what you see on your computer screen. This is because screens have varying color and contrast settings and emit light. Rest assured; your print will have even more detail than the screen shows. That’s why printing is so fun!
Framing
- The prints do not come with framing or built in mounting capabilities – yet. If you would like to frame your print, I recommend visiting your professional local framing shop where they will guide you on mounting and glass options.
Lighting and Care
- To ensure the longevity of your print, It’s recommended avoiding direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting. Dont fold it, lick it, set it a fire, or wash it, like ever.
I am determined to give you the best possible prints and make sure you are completely happy with them.
