Shipton’s Camp Descent, Mount Kenya
100 x 100 cm
oil and mixed media on linen canvas
Framed in a custom designed oak frame
Descending from Shipton’s Camp, the trail passes through one of Mount Kenya’s most extraordinary high-altitude landscapes, where giant groundsels rise from the valley beneath the mountain.
The painting draws on the strange scale and almost prehistoric character of this vegetation. The trail winds through broken colour and waterlogged ground, while the peaks of Mount Kenya appear above: distant, pale and monumental.
