Another in my ongoing series of mountains.
My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows around the country. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com

The clouds ended up a bit exaggerated but not by much.
The sky in the original photo was pretty bright.

"Banff"
I'm learning to use gouache to repair paintings The rocks in the foreground were initially painted brown. They looked totally fake. So I mixed up some gouache after the painting was dry and went back in and painted the rocks grey. Looks quite a bit more realistic now.
