Landscape Study inspired on Edgar Payne

This small study captures the imposing presence of distant peaks, rendered with a vigorous, tactile application of paint. Cool lavender and grey define the mountain forms, their solidity offset by the warmer, earth-toned vegetation in the foreground. The artist’s handling of color suggests a fleeting moment – the quality of light shifting across the landscape, hinting at both shadow and sun. Dense, broken brushwork animates the surface, conveying a sense of immediate observation and a palpable connection to the natural world. There is a quiet intimacy to this work, a focus on the subtle drama of light and form rather than expansive detail. It evokes the stillness of a remote vista, and the enduring power of the mountains to inspire awe.
