Another View of Ajax Peak

I think I painted Ajax Peak 8 times from various locations in my 10 days here in Telluride, and this sketch is my latest from this series. It is interesting how much the lighting on the mountain changes depending on the weather and time of day. It was a mostly sunny morning and the mountains were backlit by the sun at first. Later much of the mountain’s cliffs were in deep shadows as the sun moved across the mountains towards me.
