Lavender Hush: Snowy Blue Ridges Panorama

Pacific Northwest Landscapes · panoramic horizontal

A wide landscape shows a meadow of purple-gray grasses and scrubby bushes in the foreground, with a tall dry shrub standing out at left of center. Dark green evergreens line the middle distance, and layered blue mountains with snow on their upper slopes rise behind them. A pale blue sky with a soft, textured look fills the top of the image. The whole scene has a swirling, painted-looking texture and a cool blue and lavender palette with small touches of fresh green.

A collector wants this for its unusual color: a mauve and lavender-gray meadow against cool indigo, snow-dusted ridges, with a few small patches of fresh spring green. The wide panoramic format and the swirling, hand-painted surface make it read as a calm, open mountain view with a soft, painterly finish rather than a sharp, literal photograph. The purple-and-blue palette sets it apart from the usual green-and-gray mountain scenes.
