Milky Way Over Mt. St. Helens
Mt. St. Helens is famed for its major eruption on May 18, 1980.
This is one of eight Milky Way mountain paintings, each featuring a different mountain peak in the Pacific Northwest. Above each mountain, the Milky Way galaxy sprawls across the sky.
This painting combines two of the most spectacular sights on Earth: A majestic mountain peak viewed from a distance, and the Milky Way galaxy spread out across a night sky.
Those familiar with this location will recognize the mountain by its distinctive shape.
Mountain peaks have special significance to certain people. Some of us are hikers, climbers or ski enthusiasts who have been up to the summit. Many more are people who live in the region of the mountain. The majestic sight of the mountain is close to all our hearts.
We always feel the excitement when we catch a glimpse of the mountain in the distance.
I painted the magnificent Milky Way in an abstract art style. I created the billions of stars with paint drips and splatters!
These paintings of mountain peaks and the Milky Way will appeal to people who enjoy the crossover of representational and abstract painting.
All the Milky Way mountain paintings have a consistent color palette of black and white with subtle tones of metallic bronze and ice blue.
So, you can display them individually, or you can display them together, mixed and matched in any configuration!
