Nightfall among the giant groundsels of Mount Kenya.

These extraordinary high-altitude plants appeared throughout the upper reaches of the mountain, their strange forms emerging from the landscape as the light disappeared. The painting captures that transition into darkness, with the mountain rising beyond.
