Chugach Clouds

My aim with landscapes is to simplify a scene into essentials of shape and line. I often deliberately deviate from realistic color to enhance and distinguish shapes as necessary. In this piece, I hope to convey a sense of clam and timelessness. The mountains represent permanence. While clouds can be interpreted as an ever changing dynamic in the natural world, in this case I wanted them to be soft and non-threatening. “Chugach Clouds” is inspired by my photography along Turnagain Arm and the Chugach mountain range.
