• painted on 140 lb. hot press paper

• double matting and frame included:

• 2 in. outer dark navy matte

This painting is based on a study of one of my earliest watercolor sketches. I love its fresh, uncomplicated style and free brushstrokes as much today as I did then. I began painting it on location at Timberline Lodge looking up at Mt. Hood through the snow. I will always remember sitting in the hot tub with my young daughter splashing about under the stars in the crisp winter air, looking out across a crystal clear night sky to the valleys below, the mountain with its quiet presence watching over us. I completed a watercolor sketch of the scenemy room at Timberline Lodge while the memory was fresh, and years later completed this painting in my studio.

The dimensions for the artwork are 10 1/2 in. x 13 5/8 in. It is double-matted with a 3/8-inch inner white matte and a 2-inch outer dark navy matte, and framed in a 3/4-inch contemporary silver metal frame, adding to its oriental style. The framed dimensions are 16 in. x 20 in.
