The Story Of The Sierrascape Print by Mick Ryan
I spent nine happy years living in the Sierra Nevada and like all who have enjoyed its natural beauty it will never leave me.
After I left I found myself sketching the distinctive Sierra skyline. I was imagining myself as a Prairie Falcon high above the White Mountains looking across the Owens Valley to the Sierra Nevada. I drew from memory then looked at some photographs and maps and refined the sketch.
I scanned the sketch and traced it in a drawing package producing vector lines. This I printed out on watercolor paper and painted using watercolor paints.
I then added the climbing areas that I know so well and the classic mountain routes of the Sierra.
This work titled, Climbing On The Eastern Sierra Nevada and in the Owens Valley is available as a giclée print and as a set of greetings cards.
