Powder Deam:Original Contemporary Mountainscape Painting on Brushed Aluminum
There is nothing quite like that feeling of standing atop a vast, snow-covered summit. Powder Dream transports you instantly to that exciting, pristine moment—a pure, blue-sky day on a steep mountain face, ready for the first tracks. This is more than a mountain painting; it is the embodiment of the “in the moment” experience, capturing the adrenaline and awe that nature inspires.
This powerful, large-format painting, Powder Dream (40″ x 52″), is executed in my signature medium: oil on brushed aluminum panel. The distinct surface of the aluminum is not merely a canvas; it’s an active component of the work. I allow the cool, raw metal to shine through the deepest blues and brightest whites, creating an electric, almost kinetic texture that mirrors the reflective quality of ice and deep snow.
The rugged grandeur of this contemporary landscape is brought to life through thick, expressive brushstrokes that push the painting towards abstraction, emphasizing the raw, untamed beauty of the high alpine environment. The contrast between the deep, electric blue sky and the brilliant, textured white snow draws the viewer in, promising escape and exhilaration.


Powder Dream is a statement piece, perfect for collectors seeking an authentic, modern mountain experience or for a space that demands drama and natural light. It reflects my deep connection to the spirit of winter sports and the incredible landscapes of the West.
This original oil painting is ready to hang and currently available for acquisition at the Summit Gallery, 875 Main Street, Park City, Utah. Bring the spirit of the mountain home.
Happy Holiday’s,
