Mountain Peaks

Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 27.5 x 23.6
Sharp mountain forms rise vertically through the composition, their surfaces built from intersecting planes of blue, gray, green, and warm earth tones. Angular brushwork emphasizes the rugged structure of the terrain, while darker passages define crevices and shadowed slopes. The peaks occupy much of the picture plane, compressing distance and directing attention toward the dramatic arrangement of rock formations. Variations in color temperature move across the mountainside, creating transitions between illuminated and shaded areas. Loose handling of paint preserves the energy of the brushwork throughout the landscape.
