Twilight Clouds & Pond

Twilight Clouds & Pond
Oil Painting by Jim Promessi
30 x 40 inches

Moody and magical are the words most often heard in response to this painting. After the rains of winter, California hills are awash in a variety of greens. In this painting, the new growth can been seen on the tops of the trees. Spring is coming!

Hiking up to Glacier Point, Yosemite National Park

Up to Glacier Point
oil, 24 x 30 in.

Yosemite National Park has been like a magnet for us since our daughter was 2 years old. For 16 years, two or three times a year we head for the mountains, hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, and of course, photographing.

Jim rises early to catch the drama of light revealing the granite mountains. We hike hard, but we're always ready to stop while Jim photographs oft-viewed landscapes in changing light.

Twilight and sunsets are times for walks in the valley, or drives in the high regions. Yosemite inspires us all, Jim to paint, me to think, and Ariana to write poetry. Jim's photographs are grand; Ariana's capture the small, close view of flora and fauna.

Jim's painting Up to Glacier Point shows the quaking aspens in Fall gold color. More Yosemite images and other landscapes can be seen on Jim's website: www.promessi.com. In particular see:
