Winter Monochrome: Postcard Colletion
About the cards:
High Quality, standard sized 4x6 postcard, matte finish.
This postcard collection contains 8 unique designs, 7 featuring images of mountains and peaks of southwestern Montana, and one of the Tetons as viewed from Idaho (and from the top of Lone Mountain, MT!) for good measure. These are, of course, wonderful to send in the mail, but I’ve found that I also love treating them like tiny paintings—propping them in windowsills, hanging them together on a wall, or from a string with tiny clothes pins. It’s a good way to have a little of art in your life, even if you move around a lot, or don’t want to make a big financial investment. I really love how they look all together as a set of little big mountains!
About the Winter Monochrome Series:
In this series, I tried to capture the quiet yet stark beauty of local mountains in the winter. Over the course of the last several winters, I began to notice that on both the brightest and sunniest days, and the overcast, cloudy ones, the mountains often appeared monochromatic from afar. It took me a while to track down the right color, one that could be almost black at its darkest, and a translucent barely there blue at its lightest, and found it in indigo. As these paintings came to life under my brush, I was awed by way the color could convey both depth and lightness, and the realism that was created by the addition of just a few small details. I left them simple—no skies, no backgrounds, floating in space to some degree, grounded by tree lines. I have mentioned before that the paintings in this series feel like looking at a memory to me, perhaps because they look a bit like old photographs, overexposed or faded with time, or perhaps because the mountains pictured hold so much importance in my own memory, and I know, in the minds and memories of so many others. I hope that these paintings will remind you of these special places, and the memories that you have with them.
These cards are also sold at Montana Supply and the Hungry Moose Market in Big Sky, Montana
