After a long wait I have finally started to paint some Megeve skiing and snowboarding paintings. Here is the first one from the top of Rochebrune 1754m.
A colourful painting from the top of restaurant at the top of the Caboche Gondala on the Rochebrune summit. Sat in the luxury of the restaurant with a coffee, gazing & people watching at the world going by as skiers set off down the Girolle piste. Lovely depth with the distinctive Aguilee Croche in the background.
I have missed Tignes this year with a busy schedule of resorts to visit, getting very close with the 3 Valleys and Les Arcs but sadly was whisked off to Davos and St Moritz before I could set foot on the hallowed ground of Grande Motte. Here are a few of this seasons new paintings from Tignes and Val D’Isere. Do look out later in the season for my special focus on the Grande Motte Galcier and its cable car.
It might still feel like summer here, but my minds starting to move towards the winter fun ahead. The last two paintings of last Ski season are here. A bit bigger than my normal ski paintings. Setting off from the top of the Grande Motte Cable Car, Tignes / Val d’Isere ready to ski and snowboard down the most amazing galcier that I know, 77x33cm oil on board. This ones just going to the framers to get a frame, price £495. The second paintings is the mad rush (for some of us ) from the top of the funicular to be greeted by heaven, the Grande Motte glacier cable car just opening, no queue and a piste full of deep powder……..run……………………..Oil on canvas 100cm x 40 cm x 4.5cm. Price £595. They are not on the web site yet but will be there quite soon. Take a look at the rest of the ski and snowbaord paintings for sale. https://petecaswell.co.uk/wp2/product-category/ski-snowboard-paintings/
Work is progressing well at the studio with the 3 new display studios in the fields due for completion by spring next year all ready to display some of the extra large paintings. More information about visiting the new studios will be posted on the web site at the start of the ski season. www.petecaswell.co.uk
To celebrate the near end of the ski season I had to do my favourite ski painting as a large version. I love this one of the skiers and snowboarders exiting the funicular at Tignes / Val D’Isere on the way to the cable car to scale the heights of Grande Motte.
Next season’s plans are being laid to visit Verbier, St Moritz and Zermatt on a grande tour by train and skis. Forget summer, lets have another winter.
Chamonix Mt Blanc the Aiguille Du Midi and Vallee Blanche 3842m
Chamonix is the centre of atmosphere with the epic valley views of Mt Blanc and the cable car up to the Aguille du Midi at 3842. This is an incredible place on top of the earth with access to the world famous Vallee Blanche off piste itinerary from the top of the cable car right down to Chamonix valley.
This is a beautiful Chamonix oil painting, 80cm x 80cm x 4.5cm deep on canvas. Full of texture and colour this painting captures the atmosphere beautifully. After leaving the Aiguille Du Midi cable car and ice tunnel you are straight onto the arete en route to the Vallee Blanche with a view all the way down to Chamonix. A rope guide is all that stops you from taking the direct route back to Chamonix.
Heading down the ridge to the start of the Vallee Blanche after leaving the Aiguille Du Midi cable car. This is a great painting mimicking the atmosphere of this special place on Mt Blanc, Chamonix. Mosaic texture and pattern of colours make this an interesting painting. Look out for the skiers making their way to the descent in the bottom left. 70cm x 50cm x 4.5cm deep with the image painted on the edge.
Aiguille Du Midi Glacier & Cable Car, Mt Blanc at Chamonix and the Vallee Blanche Oil painting For Sale.Looking up at the Aiguille Du Midi cable car on Mt Blanc Chamonix. Skiers setting off to the Glacier off piste route left. Colours and patterns on the glacier centre and right. Beautiful mosaic effect of the colours and textures on the canvas help to add atmosphere to the glacier ice. Oil on canvas 70cm x 50cm x 1.8cm deep.
Argentiere ski and snowboard painting for sale. Lightly coloured turquoise and purple on a smaller canvas of part of the Chamonix ski area. I will be revisiting Chamonix again this winter so expect some more ski paintings from The Grands Montets, Brévent / Flégère ski areas.
Courmayeur and Mt Blanc ski and snowboard oil painting for sale. Epic colours and textures make this wonderful semi abstract oil painting float off the wall. On deep canvas 80cm x 80cm this is an amazing painting and I love it. I can only say the jpeg does not do it justice. The glacier sweeps down from Mt Blanc in the centre and Mt Blanc climbs up to the right through the trees. Pistes part of the Courmayeur ski area deep in powder lie off to the left. Probably be in the £800 mark when it is put up for sale later in the year.
Verbier Skiing paintings will add a real atmosphere to your wall. From 60cm x 60cm deep block canvas up to over 100cm wide framed oil paintings
Skiing and Snowboarding paintings from Verbier and Mt Fort are nearly ready. Here is the collection from last years epic powder season.
This is a beautiful collection of really luscious and colourful oil paintings inspired by the powder above Verbier in Switzerland. You really have to see them in the real life with the fantastic textures and colours.
There are two more smaller paintings to still complete while these bigger paintings up to 1m across are drying.
Key Subject Theme: Pete Caswell travels the Alps touring the best ski resorts painting high energy paintings of snowboarders and Skiers. This year sees the first of the paintings of the grand tour of the best runs above 3000m.
Press Release
This week sees the online opening of the new exhibition of Pete Caswell’s new season’s Ski and Snowboard Paintings celebrating the winter of snow, fun and sunny skies in the European Alps.
Last year Pete toured the Alps on the first part of his trip to photograph, ski and snowboard the most exhilarating and highest ski and snowboard resorts in the Alps. This series of paintings is a collection of all the top runs in the Alps above 3000m where snowy glaciers remain all year.
These places are very special, on top of the world, incredibly remote, and yet you can get there on a fast and powerful ski lift in minutes with very little effort. You are put where human habitation is not possible, but with the help of a lift pass and a board strapped to your feet you can have an incredible amount of fun.
It’s as if these places collect the all the fun up in the world and throw it back at you every time you visit. There is nothing else at this
high altitude to pollute this pure exhilaration, nothing can survive. Even the weather at this altitude can be so extreme that it seems otherworldly. Blizzards of horizontal ice, head high snow drifts and temperatures so low they can freeze you eye lids together. Tackling these runs in a blizzard or bright sun, they never disappoint.
After the extreme cold and bright light of the mountains, happy grins frozen into your cheeks, another wanton pleasure awaits. The reward of the first morning café au lait, or espresso for the needy, in the welcoming warmth of the mountain restaurant, perched high up on these glacial moraines is something else . Warming your hands on a hot coffee by a roaring fire, somehow after all that immense pleasure, you feel as if you have deserved it for playing so hard. With the caffeine boost on top of the adrenaline, you fly like a kite.
This winter you can see the ski and snowboard paintings for sale from last seasons epic trips around the French Alps. Enjoy these paintings and relax and enjoy while Pete prepares the next edition of this series from the last remaining resorts on the list of Zermatt and Verbier in Switzerland and Chamonix in France. This year will sea some wonderful large ski paintings beautiful enough to grace the most prestigious wall. END
These beautiful ski and snowboard paintings of the French Alps are for sale on Pete’s web site below. You can buy the paintings online or just take a look. This year will see the new collection of large ski paintings available to but on the site.
