        This is a recently completed work of rock climbers on Aiguille du Midi above Chamonix, France and part of the Mont Blanc massif.
        Done from a photo I took in 2018. I love the harsh light one gets at 12,000 feet which makes for high contrast.
        Painted on Fabriano 140 lb 11 x 14 with DS. C&C welcome.

                you never answered if you are a basketball player,,,I like the perspective and the rocks are well done, to me the colors on the figures are a bit too out of the tube,,

                        Thanks KiwiKate. I am not a climber but I was able to take the photo with a long lens from the top of Aiguille du Midi since it can be reached by a 20 min cable car ride from Chamonix. I highly recommend the trip to the top if you are visiting. The view is spectacular

                        Kaylen, I am not a basketball player although I enjoy watching the Golden State Warriors. Thanks for your comment.

                                                            Very nicely done. Your rocks are so very good.
