Crystal says this painting was inspired by the beautiful light and shadows after a rare desert snowstorm. She used a limited palette of blues and white and an intricate style of impressionist brushwork to capture the cool, bright morning. The lines of the snow and plants draw the eye back to the distant peaks and off to the left.
Crystal DiPietro
Las Vegas, Nevada
Many artists work with the landscape, but Crystal DiPietro sees her works as different from most in the genre. “I tend not to see landscapes as soft and pretty, but as rugged, dramatic and colorful.” Many of her works depict wild storms and moody sunsets. She spends a lot of time in remote spots and uses layers of color to create her compositions. Her work hovers between a brief impression of a scene and a pure dream. Crystal's landscapes of southern Utah seem to undulate and continuously change. What's interesting, though, is that these mountains and valleys seem to do the same thing in person. In these areas, the view changes constantly throughout the day as the light shifts, throwing shadows of faces, mazes and alien patterns across the cliff faces. Crystal impressively captures what's there, and what seems to be but isn't.
