Yosemite 1994

Eyvind Earle, he did these landscapes, Yosemite here. He worked as a background artist for Disney and, I mean, you can tell. It's all about the light here, right? The artist is layering in the snow, the light, and the trees. Look how flat it is, and the way they are placed, one in front of the other, these cut out shapes... the snow, the light. The light! It's all about the light. I like how the pines push against the snow. The painting is so precise, like he's making a statement, with his specific trees and specific snow. I mean, he’s putting down a marker, like, "This is my snow, this is my tree, this is my light." What a thing, huh?
