Glenorchy, New Zealand is surrounded by high mountains and has a lot of amazing views. It is also one of my favourite spots for painting outdoors (en plein air).
On this particular day there was intermittent cloud which made some amazing light effects on the mountains. I decided I would paint Mt Alaska and capture the light in my painting.
Below are some of the photos I took on that day.
There was a contrast between light and dark values which I thought would look interesting in a painting.
Dramatic clouds, the mountains create their own microclimate.
This was the view of Mt Alaska that I decided to paint.
This is the painting, painted outdoors on location.
Mt Alaska, 10" x 12", oil on canvas, painted en plein air.
I hope you like my photos and art, I have more paintings on my website: samuelearp.com
Inspiring landscapes you get to enjoy. How often are you on the road?

Thanks @leoplaw, I try to go out plein air painting as often as I can but recently I haven't had a chance. I'm try to make a living from my art especially since I quite my matrix style job a couple of years ago. I still have to pick up part time work here and there as I am implementing a long term plan for my art business. Regardless I am so much happier in what I have done and having more time to paint, it's my life.

Yes, I understand you. I worked on an off, but mostly on for the past 20 years in the Matrix, until I recently took the Red Pill and went full time with the art. Loving every moment of it and in no way missing digital slavery.
Here's to Painting! =)

You are so blessed. My grandpa was a painter as well. He also painted landscapings. One day when my grandma was out some people came and stole his job. Now I don't have not even one. I just would like to have for a souvenir. Life is life maybe they needed more. I am so happy to see your work and I can enjoy it. Thank you for your support I do as well ;)
