#101 – Cerro Torre

Cerro Torre is a mountain of the Southern Patagonia Ice Field. This is a most stunning painting. Layers of slate blue, white, and stone grays imbue the scene with a feeling of glacial cold, and constant wind. The swirls of mist in the background hint at a recent snowstorm. This scene is filled with a dynamic and mystical wildness. Cerro Torre was once considered to be the world’s most difficult mountain to climb, and this painting reveals the sheer granite cliffs that frightened even seasoned climbers.
