I Heard The Mountain Sing 30” x 12” Marble, amethyst specimens, pyrite, glass, porcelain, mosaic gold.
Today’s feature was inspired by a trip to Zermatt, Switzerland, and the large bottom amethyst specimen that I found in a little shop there.
I was also happy to be able to use a few other amethyst specimens that I have had for many years. I found the two at the top of the mosaic (detail below) in Myrtle Beach, SC, about 15 years ago. I’ve never seen any like them since.
The photos at left and below were taken in morning light from my studio skylights, which is warmer than the one used for the in situ image at top.
