Monte Disgrazia

Gorgeous mountain view in your watercolour scene Kim, super light falling on the Monte highlighting the snow beautifully, love how you have shown the lower peak in front of it as well

Congratulations Kim for your achievement, well deserved of course!

I'm not surprised that they chose it; it's a stunningly eyecatching image. I love the informality of the foreground.

A great lesson in negative painting with that brilliant blue sky and dark foreground mountains throwing the peak into high relief. A powerful painting and I don't wonder that it was chosen for the cover of Alpine Journal.

Congratulations Kim! Hardly a surprise that this stunning piece was chosen. There's so much to commend it - superb atmosphere, excellent light and fantastic spontaneity of the brushwork and washes. Everything that makes for a great painting!

It's been said.

Great news for you, congratulations on that achievement Kim.

Everything about it is 'pure'.

I can't remember exactly how that unorthodox foreground came about - I painted this some years ago. But knowing me (impulsive and impatient), I will have seen that the main peak didn't recede as I'd planned, so I simply started 'scribbling'. But I'm happy with it - and I'm delighted that you are too.
