Two more moods of the granite mountain

So this is the huge granite mountain that stands grandly close to our house. I have done several paintings of it in several different moods. This is not the same as the Little Granite Peak that I have been doing the day series of.

It has been cold, windy, rain, and today we even had some snow on the mountain.

Here is  the view as it was yesterday. Just Cloudy…
