Last Light, Abstract Painting

2020

Artist Comments
A beam of light glimmers on the face of a mountain from the low setting sun. Fog forms above a blanket of snow interweaving tall dark trees. Artist Alana Clumeck created this abstract mountain scene with a mix of acrylic paint and watercolor. "I tried to create an abstract portrayal of the last light of the day hitting a snow-covered mountain edge," Alana explains. "Drips of watercolor represent a line of trees cutting against a snowy backdrop. Gold hues contrast against the dark mountain slope to emote that last sliver of the sun as it glistens on the mountain range."

About the Artist
Australian-born Alana Clumeck was raised by artistic parents who owned a pottery studio during her youth. Although she grew up throwing pots, it wasn’t until she was pregnant with her second child that she began painting as creative therapy. For Alana, being an artist is entwined with motherhood. She works from her home studio, so she often paints while watching her children play. When the kids are at school, painting becomes precious meditative time alone. “Since my discovery of art came as a form of therapy, I still use it to paint out my thoughts or feelings,” says Alana. “I will often use symbolism within my paintings to represent how I feel.”
