Mt.Warning in Springtime

Mt.Warning in Springtime

Mt Warning is part of an mountain range that used to be extinct volcanos. Captain Cook named it as he could see it far out to sea.It rises way above the surrounding flatlands which there are many sugarcan fields. It’s about 1 hour drive from where I live. and it must be the most painted landscape in this area.

    Wow, what colours and light you have in your paintings. They would just jump of the walls in an art exhibition…......Sandy

    Beautiful work, Ginny! Wish I had your talent!

  • Virginia McGowan replied

    oh geee thanks Rachel, think I had more ‘just want to do it feeling [and I wanted something for my walls as I couldn’t afford to buy !! , ha if I only knew how much paint costs!! LOL much dearer than buying a ready made painting … so many people have much more talent it’s always been a huge effort,

    Love this classic composition with colours that sing. White frame perhaps? Apparently Monet and co insisted on them, and this one has that look about it.

  • Virginia McGowan

    thanks Damian,If I framed it [or my framer ]he uses white inserts and gold frames usually and he runs the largest gallery around here for 30 odd years and a 60 years in the business of art dealing too ….very experienced , He loves it when I let him choose! atm can’t afford any at all . I’ll try a white one here. Thanks so much .
