First Light

First in a series of small Chapel Pond studies that will track the light as it moves down the mountain. 6x6in oil

On Noonmark

Noonmark mountain is a peak in Keene Valley with a commanding 360 view. It gets its name because, viewed from the valley, the sun seems to rest on the top at noon. During the dark days of Feb. I wanted to relive the feeling of a summer climb. A self portrait from a combination of sources in pastel.
