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.
