I like the notion that one can be derivative of oneself. In the end, it was probably just the startling exaggeration of colours and colour relationships that intrigued me. If I'm put off by anything, it's Choultsé's handling of the paint itself that leaves me underwhelmed. Have a great Christmas / Solstice / Yule! @lotus, Some nice gritty ideas in your comment.

When I go to the mountains, it's usually in Summer. It's a long time since I have been above the snowline in Winter, and the last time I did, it was solid snow and near zero visibility. Very difficult for navigation, and impossible for painting, I guess. Good point, Linca. When I go to the mountains, it’s usually in Summer.
