Rugged Heights

Precipitous slopes are the dominating features of this canvas. Shadowed by the morning sun the ruggedness is revealed by lights that mantle the overlying snow and glaciers. Pierced by the spire-like peak that cleaves the snow and towers far into the pale turquoise sky. The foreground is covered with new spring grass over which we wander past the mountaineers’ hut into the shadowed crevices of these Alpine monarchs.
