Storm Rising Over James Peak

James Peak, is directly west of Denver on the Great Divide in the Colorado Rockies. It is seldom glimpsed because of lower, wooded moountains. Sometimes it will appear up a gulch,. Jean Kadmon has painted a landscape view in oil, "James Peak from Gamble Gulch." >> The 60 x 80cm oil camvas "Storm Rising Over James Peak," was painted in Jerusalem from a sketch made on the eastern shoulder of the peak. When the oil painting was nearly finished, the snow patches on the peak's glacial-sliced face were not convincing. Luckily, a childhood pal of the mountains, who had been with Jean when she sketched, sent her a photo. >>Later, the landscape painting became a "Landform" painting with the addition of green storm clouds.
