Original artwork description:

In this artwork, I sought to capture the vibrant interplay of light and shadow during a mountain sunset, portraying the intense warmth and dramatic cool shades that dance across the rugged peaks. Using oil paints in an impressionist style, I poured my emotions into every brushstroke, aiming to evoke a sense of awe and tranquility. This painting is about the majestic isolation of nature, inviting viewers to find peace and passion in the landscape's immutable beauty.
The painting is executed in Spontaneous Texturism style in thick oils with bright colors, fluid motion, and engaging texture. It merges impressionistic landscapes with sculptural depth and captivating light. This distinctive style, pioneered by Kenneth Halvorsen himself, brings the composition alive with rich, heavy texture—peaks of paint reaching half an inch high creating a tactile, almost three-dimensional effect. Leaves, flowers, and tree bark seem to leap from the canvas, inviting viewers to experience the artwork not only visually but almost physically.
The artist’s original signature is on the back of the canvas. The canvas is stretched on a heavy-duty 1.5” wide wooden stretcher bar in a gallery wrap style with painting going on all 4 sides, hardware attached, and ready to hang, no frame is needed.
