Mountains of Madness

Mountains of Madness, watercolor by Amy Crook

Mountains of Madness by Amy Crook, $299

This piece started out as an experiment in painting mountains for a client, and turned into a bewitchingly creepy landscape once I put in the sky. I used salt to create the ghostly texture in the sky, which one person described as a crowd of people staring down. Spooky!

I named it after a classic HP Lovecraft story that I haven’t even read (I know! Bad artist! No biscuit!), but the name just seemed to fit with the looming sky and lunatic moon.

Mountains of Madness, 7″x5″ watercolor on paper, $299 with free shipping.

Here you can see it tucked into a frame, which can be included for an additional fee.
