Lone Peak in the Clouds

Lone Peak in the Clouds

In pulling myself out of a year-long painting slump, I painted my beloved Lone Peak shrouded in clouds from a photo I took back in May when Utah’s spring weather was acting especially drunk. She’s the peak I see from my street and a favorite of mine.

I have wanted to do a larger painting of Lone Peak for quite a while. It’s the biggest and most prominent mountain that I see from the part of the Salt Lake Valley where I live. I periodically post images of my view on Instagram. You can see the vast differences in weather, light, and colors.
