Each sketch in this collection is a slightly different take on the mountain, mostly of the Southern face. Some are rough sketches that trace the primary lines and shadows. Some are views through gaps in the evergreen forests. And some bring out the highlights, shadows, and contours of the face.
More than other types, evergreens seem to carry a whimsical, unique character. I love the way a single tree can stand out in a forest. Some have graceful boughs, others have grown through difficulty and have a scar to proved it, while others look like they came out of a Dr. Seuss book. This collection is an ongoing work because the variety is endless, and these are a favorite subject to sketch.
