Description
Summer Peak – an alpine summit in a colour explosion
An alpine summit painted with a palette knife in an extreme one-to-two upright format – a glowing peak, blue rock, a gorge with a waterfall, blooming green meadows and a red foreground edge: the peak above glows yellow-orange at its tip, ringed by blue-violet shadow facets and white mist, with the white of the sky in the very corners.
Technique & Texture
Below it the body of the rock spreads down in pale-blue and steel-blue knife facets, and lower still a dark gorge carries a teal tongue of water falling over black rock like a waterfall. This is a hand-painted painting on canvas – the knife layers are thick and real.
The Motif
Vivid green slopes surround the centre, an orange-red cluster of flowers is at the left middle, pink-red blooms in the lower centre with blue accents, and across the very bottom runs a red band of foreground flowers in shadow. Green planes below, bluish mountains in the middle and a glowing peak above each want their own colour – a vertical colour explosion.
Styling & Placement
A lively abstract painting for living rooms, children’s rooms and kitchens; the colour explosion delights, the upright format emphasises the height of the peak. Wall art for rooms that love colour.

Upright or landscape: Summer Peak
Summer Peak is painted in 13 sizes, from 60 x 30 to 180 x 360 cm: eight upright in a one-to-two ratio and five landscape. Upright, the alpine summit gains height – 70 x 140 cm suits a narrow wall or a console, 90 x 180 cm a hallway end, 110 x 220 cm a high stairwell. Over a 200 cm sofa, take the landscape 150 x 75 cm.
The first photograph shows the painting upright on the studio floor in an optional gold frame, and the second photograph shows the same canvas from the side, where the thick blue and green knife facets stand out. With YES under Stretcher the glowing peak arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang; the gold frame of Summer Peak is extra, chosen in the Frame menu from Without frame. Delivery takes 15–45 days. Peak, waterfall and red flowers are hand-painted with a knife, so this painting is not a print.
