Purple Claws

Purple Claws in an original oil painting.

The paintwork continues all around the edges of the canvas leaving no need for a frame unless desired.

Painted with brushwork and a palette knife, this alpine landscape is captured in hyper-colour. It represents a high pressure atmostphere imminently about to crack. It’s alive with electric activity.

A snow storm is looming over the mountains. The sky is heavy and dark, its purple claws, scratching at the peaks ahead. It’s already grasping the top of the Petit Combin.
