The warm pinks, deep indigo blues, and purple landscape of this original painting depicts the quiet charm of a hidden backcountry retreat. Tucked away in solitude of nature, this secluded cabin holds the memory of simpler times, enveloped by the peaceful stillness of the wilderness. This piece is my celebration of those remote escapes that offer a refuge from the modern world. While history tells us of the rugged pioneers and loggers who built these shelters, it is really the feeling of solstice, the gentle rustle of the trees, and the warm, welcoming light of the evening sky that remain with us. Through rich layers of vibrant hues, this canvas captures the nostalgic magic of a forgotten cabin. May this piece invite an enduring sense of sanctuary, tranquility, and backcountry adventure into your life.

Still Standing Collection

Deep in the backcountry, tucked into aspen groves or perched precariously over mountain rivers, you will find them: the weathered cabins, forgotten mills, and quiet ghost towns that time left behind. This collection is a celebration of these resilient structures that refuse to yield to the elements. By pairing the rough, historic textures of these relics with a vivid, unexpected palette of electric blues, dreamlike purples, and warm alpenglow pinks, I wanted to breathe new life into these historic spaces. These paintings are a tribute to the spirit of the backcountry, the stories built into old timber, and the quiet magic of places that are still standing.

How This Piece Will Feel in Your Space

How This Piece Will Feel in Your Space *

Imagine walking into your room and being instantly greeted by the quiet, soul-soothing shelter of a hidden mountain sanctuary.

Camp Hideaway brings a grounded, comforting warmth to your wall, living area, or cozy nook. The rich, inviting hues of the rustic cabin set off against the soft, dreamlike layers of the surrounding woods, casting a peaceful yet captivating light into your home. Tucked among the trees as if waiting just for you, this original painting feels like a gentle sanctuary at the end of a long trail—instantly grounding your living space with the nostalgic charm of backcountry life.

Living with Camp Hideaway unlocks that deep, peaceful "off-the-grid" contentment whenever you need a mental escape from the daily rush.

Pausing in front of this piece takes you straight back to the quietest, most magical moments of mountain solitude: the crisp smell of pine on an autumn breeze, the crackle of a evening campfire, quiet mornings sipping coffee while the forest wakes up, and the simple joy of finding a place where time stands still. It serves as an instant breath of fresh air—a daily invitation to step away from the noise of the world, lean into the tranquility of nature, and reconnect with your most grounded, peaceful self.

Behind the Craftsmanship

Every original painting is a labor of love, built from the ground up using only professional, museum-quality materials. All pieces are crafted to endure for generations in your home.

  • The Foundation & Palette: I paint on premium, archival wood panels or heavy-duty canvas, using highly pigmented Golden and Liquitex professional acrylics. These paints are chosen for their incredible lightfastness and rich, heavy-body textures, allowing the vibrant, unexpected colors and abstract images to pop off the surface.

  • The Preservation Layer: Once the painting is complete, I apply a crucial archival step: a Golden Isolation Coat. This permanent, glossy, transparent layer seals the acrylic paint permanently, acting as a physical shield that protects the actual brushwork from the environment.

  • The Final Touch: To finish each piece, I apply a premium Liquitex Satin Varnish. This provides a beautiful, soft sheen that enhances the depth of the colorful landscape without distracting glare. It also offers vital UV protection and allows the surface to be safely cleaned in the future if needed.

  • Provenance & Authentication: Each original piece is hand-signed on the back for official authentication as well as my painted signature on the front of the piece. Your painting will also arrive with a separate, official Certificate of Authenticity to accompany the piece for your records. 

By investing in these specialized, multi-step preservation techniques, I ensure that the dreamlike energy, texture, and crisp brush strokes of your favorite painting remain as vivid and flawless decades from now as they were the day they left my mountain studio.

Meet The Artist *

Howdy! I’m Caley Van Cleave a Colorado-based artist, lifelong rambler, and a self-proclaimed color maximalist. Inspired by the vastness of the American West, I take sketches and memories from my outdoor adventures and dial up the intensity—bringing the hidden purples of a sunrise snowbank and the electric joy of the wild straight to the canvas.

From my home base at 9,000 feet in Silverthorne, CO, or out on the road in my Airstream, I paint to capture the emotional impact of rugged mountain sunshine and red clay canyons. If it’s bright, bold, and celebrates our stunning natural world, I’m enamored by it.

You won’t find any beige here. I bring the ridiculous, joyful color combinations of our wild spaces directly to the canvas so you can celebrate a world of beautiful, vibrant adventure right in your own space.
