Pioneer Peak rises from the wide, flat Knik River valley in dramatic fashion. This was during the time of peak greenery, early July, as viewed from the Butte. This painting started out all wrong with colors far too saturated and sat hidden on a shelf for half a year. Eventually I gave it a second chance and what emerged became one of my favorite creations to date.
