Have you ever watched clouds changing shape and wondered how many different worlds you can discover in the sky?

Clouds are endlessly fascinating. Their colours, shapes and movements are never quite the same, and even a familiar landscape can become something extraordinary beneath a changing sky.

Mountain Sky II is a small original oil painting inspired by my summers painting high in the Swiss Alps.

A little painting of an immense world

Between 2019 and 2022, I was fortunate to spend a week each summer painting en plein air at 2,100 metres above sea level in Graubünden, Switzerland.

Far from the distractions of everyday life, I could immerse myself completely in the landscape, observing the movement of clouds, the changing light and the colours of the mountains.

I loved those precious days of uninterrupted painting.

The more closely I looked, the more possibilities I discovered. A cloud could transform an entire mountain panorama in a matter of minutes. Colours shifted, shapes emerged and disappeared, and the landscape seemed constantly alive.

Beyond what we can see

For me, art is not simply about copying nature.

I want to explore what lies beyond the visible, allowing colour, form and movement to suggest something new.

Nature provides an endless source of inspiration, but imagination allows us to discover worlds within worlds.

In Mountain Sky II, I wanted to capture something of that freedom, the pleasure of looking upwards and allowing the eye and imagination to wander.

Although the painting is small, it invites you into a much larger landscape, one filled with atmosphere, movement and possibility.

Bring a little piece of the Alps into your home

Measuring just 11 × 16 cm, Mountain Sky II is an intimate original oil painting on cardboard, presented in a wooden box frame measuring 20 × 26 × 3.3 cm.

The artwork is float-mounted on backing card, creating a lovely sense of space around the painting.

Its compact size makes it perfect for a small wall, a reading corner or a collection of original artworks.

It would also look particularly beautiful displayed alongside Mountain Sky I, creating a conversation between two different moments in the ever-changing Alpine landscape.

I hope this painting brings you a little of the freedom, wonder and spaciousness I experienced while painting in the mountains.

A small original painting with an immense horizon, inviting your imagination to wander among the clouds.
