Drawn Summit, Outlined Blue Mountain Peaks

Contemporary Abstract & Mixed Media · horizontal

Two steep, craggy mountain peaks rise in blue and gray tones against a pale sky with soft cream clouds. Thick black outlines trace the ridges, the rock details and the clouds, which gives the scene a hand-drawn, graphic look. Warm tan and muted green patches show near the base of the slope. The picture sits inside a thin dark rectangle on a wide, shadowy border that also carries loose black lines.

A collector wants this piece for its bold graphic mountain rather than a soft, realistic one. Heavy, wobbly black outlines trace two craggy peaks, the clouds and the rock details, and the outlines carry on past the picture into a dark border. Slate blue and charcoal against pale cream gives the rugged subject a calm, cool tone. It reads as a mountain picture and as a line drawing at once.
