Order Original Painting Wall Art, Nature Utah Landscape, Mountain Trail #2, Acrylic Impressionism Knife, Vertical 7 X 5

Original Painting "Mountain Trail #2".

STYLE. Painting loosely, big brush strokes, swipes from the palette knife, and bold color all combine to create energy and an image much more lively and interesting than faithful reproduction of reality. Bottom line my style can be called representational but impressionistic, occasionally bordering on the abstract. This painting in particular leans far more towards abstraction.

SUBJECT: This painting is based on one of my many hikes in the Wasatch Mountains, in particular this order hike is in Cardiff Fork and the old two track trail winding up the hills was originally a mining road. This trail is little known so the hike is a quiet and peaceful one, just keep your eyes out for moose! This day was in mid spring so the wildflowers were in full bloom.

QUALITY: I use only archival, artist quality materials in making my paintings. You can rest assured your original painting is one of a kind and will last generations. I affix and seal a label to the back of each painting detailing the size, medium and title of the painting as well as including my signature.

Statement: I've lived in northern Utah most of my life and enjoy exploring the landscape here especially the mountains and rural areas. I stick to the back roads looking for scenes that harken back to a simpler time and hike the mountains heeding the call of nature. In particular I love the abstract shapes of trees and especially when they interact with the geometric shapes of man made objects such as barns, trucks and tractors.
