Mt Rainier #3

Eliza R. Barchus - Mt Rainier #3
Oil on Metal Plate * 6 1/2 round

This wonderful and early painting of Mt. Rainier at Noonday is one of a pair painted on what appears to be a decorative hammered copper stove vent pipe cover (see below). The small brushstrokes, mossy rocks and delicate working of paint reflect her learnings from her only teacher, William Samual Parrott. Also, see Mt Hood #3 in this Gallery Index for a companion painting created on this same material.
