Massanutten View

Completed on 18” by 24” 140 lb. watercolor paper. This piece requires a frame to hang on the wall.
 
Massanutten View translates a specific Virginia landscape into a personal memory of place. The Massanutten Mountains anchor the composition, with Great North Mountain fading into the background while Luray Caverns and Hawksbill Peak help establish the surrounding geography. Rather than simply documenting the view, the piece captures the layered feeling of looking across a large landscape and discovering details at different distances.
