The Far Distance - 2 of 100 Days of Mountains

Day 2 of 100 days of Mountains.
3 x 10cm square artworks - a small gap creates a 40cm artwork.
Towering craggy exposed shale, snow covered, raw red rock or glowing with green splendour. I can't get enough of mountains. I have sketched, painted and photographed so many of them, that this 100 day challenge series is to paint those mesmerizing landscapes.

These 3 little mini paintings are part of the Mono series which explores a limited colour palette, strong shapes and mountainous landscapes.
They each measure 10cm square and the painting wraps around the edge

Acrylic, ink and charcoal on canvas
