Grande Massif Samoens, Sixt, Flaine

Painting Description

Well the sun was certainly not shining on this lift but what the sun left was a most beautiful soft light. Plein Soleil in the Grande Massif ski area above Les Carroz near to Flaine, Samoens and Morillon. The lack of sun gave way to some wonderful light conditions which produced a marvelous set of atmospheric paintings of this stunning ski area. It was a wonderful few days I spent in this mountain resort in wonderful fresh deep powder. The light was a bit flat for picking your way down the pistes but it gave such a soft light to the paintings. There is something quite magical about these powder days, a feeling of special adventure which these paintings catch wonderfully in their soft muted colours. Acrylic and charcoal on canvas 40 x 40 x 1.7xm
