"First Light of Hermit's Peak in Winter's Embrace" Print

This 12”x9” painting, a fusion of acrylic and ink, embodies the post-impressionist spirit with a unique perspective on a familiar landscape – Hermit's Peak, as seen from a ranch near San Ignacio. Captured on a day when the temperature plunged to -10 degrees, the artwork is more than a depiction; it's a tribute to a place I've returned to time and again throughout the year, each visit revealing a new facet of its beauty. The painting presents a striking color harmony, where deep purple shadows on the snow cool the scene visually, lending a surreal quality to the already breathtaking landscape. This surrealism is enhanced by the unexpected yet harmonious blend of purple, orange, and green in the composition's left corner. The orange oak leaves seamlessly weaves through the green, bridging with the contrasting blue to make the mid-ground unexpectedly prominent. Despite not being the focal point, this area captivates the viewer's attention, encouraging the eye to wander and discover new details. In this scene, the mundane becomes mesmerizing – from the tire tracks crisply imprinted in the snow to the sparkling play of morning light on the snow's surface. The shadows recede as the morning progresses, creating a dynamic interplay of light and form. Through this piece, I hope to transport the viewer not just to a place but to a moment in time. It's an invitation to step into the scene, to feel the crisp air and the quiet of the morning, and to experience the tranquility and surreal beauty of this special place near San Ignacio. My aim is for the viewer to not only appreciate the unique view but to feel drawn into the landscape, yearning to be part of its serene and surreal world.
