Matterhorn Commission

Matterhorn
10"x8" Oil  

  This piece was a commission done from a photo reference.  I've never been to Switzerland so the photo was all I had to go on.  Since the mountain is the focal point I put the foreground in shadow and suggested some rooftops so as to acknowledge the characteristic mountain chalet in the photo but not let it compete with the focal point.

Fun to do and the clients loved it.
