The Black Tusk - Painting

Описание: On a sunny, late-winter morning, the air is cold, the sky is clear and the fresh snow is covering the mountains like a soft blanket. Flying at 7,500ft the views around us are breathtaking. A seemingly endless succession of mountain peaks, valleys and ice fields that makes us ponder on our significance within this majestic landscape.

In front of us, emerging, unique, intriguing, The Black Tusk stands tall. An epic scene, reminiscent of the tale of David and Goliath, where the soft and fading snow, overpowers and erodes the massive, jagged black volcanic rock formations in a battle of light and darkness, persistence and resistance, the permanent and the impermanent.

What a privilege, to behold this scene, that took millions of years to come together. What a privilege, to be able to attest to this sheer expression of beauty and capture it in a painting. Freezing in time an instant, that will never be the same again.
