At the top of a Black Run at Courchevel 1850 in January 2004 - smooth steep ski slopes give way to a dramatic landscape of the volcanic glacier Mont Blanc mountain range in the distance. The painting concentrates on the colour and texture contrasts within the landscape, semi-abstract in form, an impression of sensations - the feel and texture; the awe inspiring view and the dramatic dark weather closing in with the arrival of the next snow storm.
