The trail to the summit of Mt Rainier is one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done. Lush grasses and abundant wildflowers blanket the landscape in color. Mt Rainier Peak by Erin Hanson, 2025 Oil on canvas 30 x 40 in erinhanson.com/portfolio/mt... #art #dailyart @bsky.art #wa #pnw #painting
The trail to the summit of Mt Rainier is one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done. Lush grasses and abundant wildflowers blanket the landscape in greens and pops of color. The peak of Mt Rainier looms above, larger than I can possibly capture on a canvas, golden clouds of fog clinging to the sides of the mountain. I used thick brush strokes of oil paint laid side-by-side on the canvas to capture the strong shapes and texture of the mountain. Delicate blooms in lavender, white, and yellow set off the foreground.

I could see some fog on the mountain from home so I dashed up and caught the tail end of it before it burned off in the late morning. #Hiking #Photography #Scape #ForestFriday #Fog #EastCoastKin #Dublin #Ireland
A view of a pine forest as the morning fog started to dissipate and burned off shortly afterwards. The fog is really a low hanging cloud that sits on this mountain forest and get blown through here and onto the city below. If you catch it at the right time you can stand on the edge of the cloud and see where the view starts to disintegrate into a haze. Or you bring some coffee, sit and watch as the cloud passes through and the whole scene changes. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours.
