TACOMA + TAHOMA / Mount Rainier, Washington USA Mountain Art

Mount Rainier ['Tahoma'] rises above the city skyline of Tacoma, conveying a sense of scale and relationship. The mountain looks over us. The "Mountain is Out" and so are we.  The mountain is our icon for so many things. The mountain might explode - it is a volcano.

The MOUNTAINS Collection, and this piece, is an exploration of brush + line, using the metaphorical form of MOUNTAIN to see how the marks of paintbrush and pen or pencil, with their contrasting textures, can work together to model the tactile surfaces of land. This sub-series pairs city skylines with their mountain.

Dark blue watercolor models the fissures and gorges in Tahoma’s majestic rise. Graphite marks trace the Tacoma skyline as seen from Ruston Way, Point Ruston, Dune Peninsula.
