August 2012 Denali National Park

SKETCHING DENALI




Mountain lines fall dramatically into the broad alluvial plain of Highway Pass, a place of gradual ascent into deeply incised canyons, steep scree slopes and rock abutments, and where the slightest sound from above, a rock tumbling, material softened by rains and drawn down by gravity, sends the heart pounding. 

I stood above this sloping landscape to do a quick contour sketch, allowing my pen to follow the rugged shape and line back and forth, up and down across the page.  These are visual connections that will help me to define my relationship with the land.
