The Longest Night

This is part of the "Wanderer" series, inspired by the mountains, national parks and early morning.

"The Longest Night' is inspired by a dark night filled with stars and moonlight.
This large abstract mountain is painted in soft neutrals of beige, taupe, cream, charcoal and small amounts of deep blue. There are areas of raised texture and metallic copper. The metallic copper will change depending on the angle of light and the viewer - so it will depend on where it is hung and the amount of light as whether it looks like a bright penny copper or deep burnished bronze.

The acrylic paint has been layered in washes of colour and charcoal and pastel have been used to add detail. The cloudy sky has layers of deep midnight blue, grey and white shades.

The painting flows over the edge. It is stretched and ready to hang.

It is professionally packed and ships in a box

Signed on the front and back of the painting.
