Mount Kosciuszko Black Snow

Mount Kosciuszko National Park is an ever changing colour inspiration and with every season I find more to fall in love with.
There are times when the dramatic snowfall and areas of shadow cast ebony coloured ridges through the swathes of pure white.

The colours used here are an off white, pale grey, dark grey, black, a deep teal green/blue and silver leaf. The silver leaf will shine in certain lights and look more gunmetal in subdued lighting.
The mountain range is collage, and the silver metal will reflect the surrounding light if its bright.
In a darker room, the silver will appear more gunmetal .

This artwork is textured and tactile with collage and silver leaf
This large artwork is stretched on a high quality stretcher canvas and is ready to hang.

Commissions welcome in any size.
