Twin Peaks at Sunset, Alpine, Texas
This is a landscape so dramatic, I paint it over and over. Twin Sisters, with their volcanic origins, are landmarks in the high desert of Far West Texas. Sunset paints the southwestern sky in a riot of color that reflects onto the mountains and scrubby desert plants below. I especially like to paint the last moments of light, when the shadowed land is woven with small surprises of soul soothing color, a time of day that gives me a Peaceful, Easy Feeling. Soft pastels, vibrant sticks of pure, richly colored pigment are the perfect medium with which to capture this interplay of light and shadow and color.
