New paintings - playing with mountains

Been having a crack at photo-realism of mountains/foothills, which is one of the styles that first got me interested in the first place. The squarer painting is of Tekapo, the more rectangular of St Bathans Range in Otago - this one was going to have a foreground but I abandoned that idea because I didn't want to distract from the boldness of the nearer hills...

....and the rest of them...

...since blogger kept crashing when trying to put all four in one post :(

More paintings...

...since I've been slack about posting what I've done lately - having no internet access at home for two weeks hasn't helped :P
