History: This is an early work of Thomas Kinkade (1988), "The painter of light".  The darker foreground trees contrast nicely with the morning sun shining on the mountain side.  The painting has different "moods" depending on how the light hits it.  I've tried to capture some of this with my digital camera, but I must admit I'm not a photographer.  These are daylight shots.  In the evening with overhead incandescent lighting, the mountain has a warm glow. There is a "sister" painting entitled "Passing Storm, Northern Rockies" that can be seen on the Kinkade National Archive web site in the originals section.  I would imagine both were painted on the same trip in the mountains.   Shipping Policy Feedback Item will be shipped within 3-5 business days of receipt of payment.
