Mountain King

Sun-bleached bone and the curling spiral of a horn give Mountain King its subject. For Jeff, their appeal reaches beyond recognition into the elegance of form and proportion. The painting becomes a place to explore the relationship between something observed and the abstract qualities that make it compelling.

Jeff wonders why these natural structures seem so beautiful. Curves, balance, and design suggest connections larger than the object itself. Mountain King holds that curiosity without resolving it, leaving room for the mystery Jeff finds in natural form.
