Stupa Beneath Lhotse - Nepal

 
Buddhist stupa beneath Lhotse in Nepal on the Everest Base Camp trail, original Himalayan landscape painting by Peter Kettle.
 

100 x 100 cm

Oil paint, collage and mixed media on canvas

Painted along the Everest Base Camp trail beneath the towering face of Lhotse, this work explores the contrast between the permanence of the mountain and the quiet human presence of a solitary stupa. Layers of oil paint, collage and textured mark-making evoke the thin mountain air, glacial light and centuries of pilgrimage woven into the Khumbu landscape.
