Lush mountain landscape by California Plein Aire artist Nick White (American, 1943-2009). The viewer looks out over a mountain range covered in evergreen trees and snow. A forest stretches out towards the mountains, ending at a bright blue lake. In the blue sky above the mountains, a layer of clouds has settled down near the peaks, creating a hazy effect in the distance.

Nick White (American, 1943-2009) began painting in the early 1970s with some early success Later in life, White was a member (and board member) of the Los Gatos Art Association. He founded the Plein Air group, which he ran until 2009. He was a dedicated painter, leading many excursions regardless of group size. He preferred to paint in acrylic, as its quick-drying properties allowed him to “work fast and loose in the style of the early California impressionists.” Two of his paintings were selected for the Fiesta de Artes Posters in 2004 and 2005.
