Mt. Fuji from Oishi Park Kawaguchiko

 
Mt. Fuji from Oishi Park, Kawaguchiko, contemporary landscape painting by Peter Kettle depicting Mount Fuji from the shores of Lake Kawaguchiko, Japan.

120 x 120 cm

oil on canvas

Mt. Fuji from Oishi Park, Kawaguchiko captures the familiar form of Mount Fuji from the shores of Lake Kawaguchiko. The mountain emerges through layered passages of violet, turquoise, ochre and pale atmospheric colour, its distinctive slopes partially dissolving into the surrounding landscape. Built through oil and mixed media, the painting explores the shifting relationship between mountain, weather and memory rather than a literal record of the view.
