Mountains High and Streams Eternal — Fine Art

Mountains High and Streams Eternal - 1986 sets the eye on a tall ridge of dark brushwork that drops into a pale water field. Thin ink lines carve the stream path, and the empty ground gives the composition room.

A fine art print on matte paper keeps the greys soft and the ink lines quiet under ceiling light. The frame finish can follow the room, a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture, so the print sits with the space instead of pushing against it.

It works in a hallway with a single bulb on the left. From the far end you catch the ridge shape, and as you walk past you see the thin stream lines and the empty ground around them.
