The Mountains Are Calling

The Mountains Are Calling, acrylic on board, 46″x34″ (48″x36″framed), 2021
The painting is framed in a thick golden oak gallery style floating frame. It has a signed certificate of authenticity on the back as well as a hanging wire for easy display.

This painting is inspired by the countless mountain views that have propelled me to get outside to enjoy spending time in the mountains. Often times the scenery can be  so awe inspiring and incredible that only the most skilled photographer can come even close to capturing that moment. I know that I’ve not been able to get that great shot of the layers of fading mountains at sunset that so many of us have experienced.

I think one of the reasons we love this type of imagery is because for just a fleeting moment, magic happens right in front of us and often it feels like we are the only ones seeing it, like the moment is just ours. I know that those moments are some of the most memorable for me.

I took some of those feelings and memories and used that to inspire and propel this painting into being. I hope that it will awaken those feelings for some and be a reminder that magic does happen everyday, here all around us.
