Elbrus At Noon Painting

Technical information: Material/medium: Hardboard 3,2mm. Master Class Oil Paints, St-Petersburg, natural high-quality pigments. Tolls: brush The main image of the painting was taken using a photo scanner Epson v370 with 600dpi density And now a little story (Part 2. ''At Noon''): This is one of three paintings with this view. The Second One. The other two I painted at dawn and at night. (The previous one and the next one are in my portfolio) That summer I was a guide in climbing Elbrus from the South. I usually work on the North Side. But this season I spent most of the summer on the South side. In between the groups, I lived in a hotel in the Cheget glade in the Baksan gorge. 2100 m. From my balcony there was a great view of Elbrus. I brought with me all the materials for painting and hardboard panels. One day I accidentally woke up in the morning just before dawn. And then I painted in oil a view of my Mountain at this dawn time. (This is the first part of the story in the description of the previous one). Then, after breakfast, I went to the river to fish for mountain trout. The day was clear with some clouds. By noon, I returned to the hotel, I wanted to paint a view of Elbrus from here even at this time. Try to catch the dazzling whiteness of the huge glaciers of Elbrus and emphasize how all this changes at different times of the day. I installed a new panel on a tripod. And although noon makes it possible to be a little slower than sunset or dawn, I didn't hesitate. After all, I know all this well by heart. The piercing whiteness of bright snow, the smell of these pines when the mountain sun melts their resin, the sound of a river nearby, small clouds over the mountain, which is more than five and a half kilometers stuck into the sky, which means that the clouds are even higher. And the sun. It doesn't fit into the picture, but it doesn’t matter, because it's everywhere, bright and sharp. I know how it strives to fry you there, above, under the summit, on a quiet, windless day. And how you desire it when everything goes bad up there, when there is a fierce wind and a blizzard, and to the bottom - many hours of hard work. This is what I mean when I drive a brushstroke of paint into the panel. This is my answer to the Sun and this Mountain. And at night I will sit here on the balcony and try to catch the stars and night lights of Elbrus. After all, bright dots on the night slope mean that people have come to the top again. They followed the dream again. The end of the story - under the next painting Location Coordinates: 43.246342, 42.524104
