The Mountains Belong to the Sky

This is the second of my new paintings for 2018. I wanted to try to paint the Mountain in such a way that it has mass but is a bit 

mystical in its appearance - a little less blatantly WHITE!!!  I think this succeeded. The scene is from a horrible photo I took looking west from Chinook Pass east of Mt. Rainier.  The title, "The Mountains Belong to the Sky" is a quote from Irby Brown's teacher, Olin Travis, which is included in a very beautiful book about Irby Brown, called Irby Brown, Southwest Landscape Paintings by Richard Brunson. I am finding that advice extremely important in painting Mount Rainier and other mountains.

As with most of my works, this painting may be purchased from the Daily Paintworks site. - Auction starting at $60
