Some of my very first art pieces years ago were mountain themed. I grew up experiencing the pure awe of the Canadian Rockies. Their rugged hard edged beauty and monumentality puts everything into perspective: we are tiny specks on this ancient planet.
I did a series of mountainSCAPES a few years ago for a west coast healthcare facility. This graphic approach to mountain and sky created a crisp shimmering view in a patient waiting area.

And now with new ways of approaching texture and color and dimension, I’m excited to circle back and re-visit this imagery.
And, of course, can’t wait to get back to reflections. This time I can see glass and paint combined.
I can also imagine how gorgeous this could be in muted evening shades (grayed mauves and blues).
Next step refining drawings and planning a glass order. Mixing iridized silvers with blacks and whites will get glass working to create dimension and inorganic irregularities.
