Somewhere In The Rockies

This is actually what this mountain looks like. It's up Chatter Creek in the Rockies. A photographer friend of Chili's saw this mountain on a ski trip and shot a whole roll of film thinking it would make a great painting... and it did! One thing that makes this piece unique is the perspective—the majority of Chili's mountain paintings are from ground perspective—as if a hiker or ski-tourer were taking the view from a ridge or valley. The source photos for this were taken from a helicopter so this is Chili's only aerial perspective mountain painting.
