Mixed Media on paper

Signed on the front.

This artwork captures the ethereal beauty of snow in Yosemite National Park, blending various media to create a textured, dynamic piece. The background is a smooth gradient of spray paint, evoking a misty, overcast sky or the diffused light of a snowy day. The foreground is defined by bold, sweeping strokes of thick impasto white paint, representing snow-covered branches or cliffs. These strokes are layered with vibrant colors—neon yellows, pinks, and subtle greens—that add depth and contrast against the dark, shadowy undertones.

The vertical lines, likely created by the threads, introduce a tactile element to the piece, resembling snowfall or the verticality of trees in the landscape. The messy, hand-sewn threads appear as both a disruptive and cohesive element, giving the artwork a raw, unfinished quality that emphasizes the wildness and unpredictability of nature.

The combination of these materials results in a vivid, almost abstract interpretation of a snowy Yosemite scene, where the use of color and texture evokes the atmosphere and emotional impact of the natural world.
