Original artwork description:

Do you feel the overall calmness of this piece and the possibilities the inner glow invites. I came back to the theme of marks on the land and the play of light on the landscape.

I wanted to explore how in paint you can create an inner glow, an inner light that seems to radiate from the canvas and transmit a positive feeling.

To obtain this effect, first, I layered a glaze of scarlet lake and violet paint over the brown of burnt sienna in the lower part of the painting.

Then, I scraped back to reveal the yellow orange underpainting and added lines and landmarks.

Above this focal point, a fine mist of puce colour that intensifies the glowing, other-worldly quality as if the mountain has a life force within itself.
