Small Black Mountain Studies

This is for an in-person sale only. 

These small paintings capture Black Mountain across shifting hours and atmospheres—sunrise, midday heat, twilight, and night. Each study holds a different light, a different temperature, a different emotional weather. Seen together, they form a kind of visual diary: the same subject encountered again and again, revealing how much changes.

The scale is intentional. At 3 inches square, the viewer must lean in, slow down, and adjust their perception. These works ask for intimacy. Their ribbon hangers echo the tradition of ornament and relic, emphasizing that a landscape can be an object of devotion, carried close, revisited privately.

Repetition is not sameness. When you paint something again and again, and it keeps unfolding. Each version asks a different question about time, attention, and the ways we recognize the familiar anew. The mountain becomes both anchor and portal: constant in form, endlessly variable in feeling.
