Breaking Through

This is a studio painting I did from a beautiful scene I saw this summer on a trip in the mountains. It was stormy all day and then towards sunset the clouds opened up letting a brilliant backlit setting sun hit the landscape. There was no time to paint it - it lasted only a few minutes and then it was gone. I was lucky enough to see it while it lasted.  I've revised this several times so here it is in it's latest reincarnation.  Breaking Through 2, 11 x 14.
