Mount Everest...

Is Awesome...I have had a weird fascination with the thing ever since I saw a doc about the deadliest disaster on the mountain; a really good film called "Storm Over Everest" (it's on instant netflix). There have been a few pieces based off of the film and the mountain over the last few months. The most recent, probably my favorite, and most simple is the piece "Sun on the Western Ridge" which was made on Saturday.

It's made completely from pouring and squirting ink or paint, no masking or stenciling and completely freehand. The mistakes, the edges, the drips, and the pooling were all lovely little surprises along the way (except the giant glob that landed between my toes, that was just annoying).

Anyways, love the energy and emotion and am really happy with how it turned out...not to mention, the transparency that occurs when using ink and watered down paint realllllly makes me interested in the things to come...
