Painting of Mt. Mansfield in Stowe, VT
I developed the original art by first painting the sky with Dr. P.H.Martin’s archival ink. Specifically the sky is painted with a pigment based “Ocean Fountain Pen Ink‘, a lightfast, archival, brilliant, fine artist pigment liquid color on watercolor paper.
When dry, I free-hand painted a winter scene of the profile of Mt. Mansfield in Holbein Acrylic Gouache, a water based paint which is of professional quality, lightfast, finely ground pigment plus acrylic binder.
What you mostly see of Mt. Mansfield is the part above tree line and you also see the tops of several ski trails coming from both the Octagon and the Cliff House. If you look closely you can see the blue coming through where I scratched through the black gouache, to get some forest like dimension.
People have said the way the brilliant blue sky is painted reminds them of the Northern Lights. The original painting is now in Wyoming after it was auctioned in June 2025 as part of a fundraiser for the Stowe High School Alumni Group at an alumni banquet. The owner of the painting is Mary Beth Quinn, who was from Stowe, ski raced for Mount Mansfield Ski Club, Burke Mountain Academy and UVM where Marilyn Cochran was her coach. As Ski School Director at Virginia’s Wintergreen Resort she was quoted in the Washington Post in 1998 . Congratulations Mary Beth. I know how much you hoped to have the painting!
I’m showing this print along with several other original paintings of Mt. Mansfield in a group show of The Pittsburgh Group in Sewickely, PA in Feb and March 2026 at Sweetwater Center for the Arts.
I wrote about that show and the paintings here if you want to see them.
The BEST painting I ever saw of Mt. Mansfield titled The Belated Party on Mt. Mansfield was painted in 1858 by Jerome Thompson. Go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, American Wing to see it.
