Smokey Blue Vista

The mountains are a deep dark inky blue under a soft creamy cloud filled morning sky. Streak of silver line the mountain and valleys. The silver is silver leaf and has been sealed. The silver leaf will change depending on the light source - this image was taken in good lighting to capture the striking nature of the silver. At some angles and in different lighting it will look more gunmetal.

This peaceful abstract landscape depicts the the early morning colours of a soft cream, beige, white and a deep dark blue highlighted with silver leaf.

Stretched and ready to hang.
Commissions welcome in any size.
