Snowy Range Twilight

This dramatic vista shows the high Snowy Mountains crowned with clouds against a starry night sky.

A luxurious palette of moss green, citrine, grey, ebony black, dark brown and ochre are layered in washes of colour.
This artwork uses collage, metallic foil and gold leaf to create a highly tactile artwork. The texture and gold leaf are sealed with varnish.
The gold leaf changes depending on the light source and will look different depending on the angle of the viewer and the light.

The signature at the bottom right almost blends in.
