Description
Title: Mark Boedges (1973-), Afternoon Convection
Medium: oil on canvas mounted on gator foam
Dimensions: 30 x 30
Frame dimensions: 36 x 36 x 2 5/8
Notes: “I lived along the Front Range of Colorado for many years and every summer afternoon storms would billow up in the high mountains. The best time to paint was just as the convection was getting started in the late morning and early afternoon; the rising cumulus clouds casting beautiful patterns of shadows on the jagged peaks, forcing some ridges into stark relief against the bright clouds, and illuminating others in the warm glow of the direct sun. The true depth and scale of the mountains was greatly accentuated by such high contrast. But not for long. As the storms continued to rise, they would eventually blow over and bathe the high country in a high overcast.” — Mark Boedges
