This pastel explores a panoramic structure and minimal narrative. Knighton-Hammond boldly describes the mountains with quick strokes of the pastel stick giving form using the pastel as it comes – no blending or blurring of the lines. The ever-changing clouds have been described with rapid notation blending and softening the pastel with his fingers. The composition is light and bright and is an accomplished exercise in the art of pastel painting.
