Three Sisters Awakening-Canadian Rockies

The mountains are an amazing place to exist. The energy between earth and sky is palpable, something that heightens the senses.

In Three Sisters Awakening I wanted to capture the changing colors of the sky, from the deep red alizarin crimson to the softness of new gamboge. The mountains went from ultramarine blue to Antwerp and cobalt blue, giving a strong, cool feeling. As the rock of the mountains flowed down to the earth and trees I used sepia, burnt umber and burnt sienna. The final colors were olive and turquoise green to represent the trees.

Like us the mountain and the earth have bones underneath their mantle. The black outlines represent the bones and structure that support this lofty landscape that flows down to the valley bottom and beyond.
