Along the Via Ferrata

'Along the Via Ferrata' is inspired by the views from the top of mountain trails, hiking the Via Ferrata and looking down into the valley.
A deep Australian olive green contrasts against the blush pink of the sky, blending brushstrokes with thick paint to create the illusion of mountain tops and a scattering of clouds, this abstracted landscape features line work taken from trail maps that 'walk' accross the peaks.
The first in a new series of abstracted landscapes inspired by the mountains, using a limited palette and mark making to make this calming artwork.This artwork is signed on the back of the canvas, artwork documents include a certificate of authenticity.
Framed with raw Australian oak in a floater, ready to hang.
