Cobalt Mirror, Fallen Logs Below Snowy Peaks

Pacific Northwest Landscapes · horizontal

A still pond in a mountain valley reflects bright blue sky, with large weathered logs and branches lying across the foreground. Dead stumps and golden reeds stand in the water, and evergreen and bare trees line both banks. Snow-capped peaks rise in the distance under a streaky blue and white sky. The whole scene has a swirling, painterly texture and strongly saturated colors.

A collector wants this piece for the collision of saturated cobalt blue and warm rust-gold, held together by a swirling, thick-paint surface. The big weathered logs in the foreground pull the eye across a mirror-still pond to snow-dusted peaks. Many mountain-pond landscapes are muted and photographic. This one is vivid, high-contrast and tactile, and it reads from across a room as colour first and scenery second. Pure visual attraction is reason enough to want it.
