It was with this question, literal or expressive in mind that I began the next few. They are not expressive of Mt Cook, but of my immediate place in Christchurch at the time. Expressive but I allowed nothing literal in, not even the colour really, so this is all from within.
Caroline Face Aoraki
#300 Caroline Face Aoraki

Back to my last day at Mt. Cook. I loved the walk to the Ball Shelter, this is pure nostalgia. I spent a lot of time here in 1996-7, first on a climbing course, then climbing many of the peaks in the area in the summer, and ski mountaineering in the spring.
There is no view of Aoraki while walking up to the shelter, it is blocked out by the range on the left. Once past the shelter I waked up to a point on the ridge and looked up at the Caroline face of Aoraki. Even though the height is forshortened from so close up, the mountain has a power, beauty and sheer impact that I do not see in my sketch. I don’t know how to do it!
Do I try something more literal? Or expressive?
Later…
How about a stretch?
Cruel
This is another with the same intent as the last. As the drawing evolved I felt the playfulness had turned nasty.

Slow
Deliberately letting a mood come through, without knowing what would happen. Not being representational, just shape colour & texture. The last one was meant to be that too, but trees emerged.
