Inspired by the beautiful nature I saw on my trip to Sicily, on and around Mount Etna.
Mount Etna is one of the world's largest and most active volcano's and dominates the Sicilian landscape. She has an overwhelming presence, with many intense colours that she shows in abundance. The Sicilian's call her Mungibeddu or Mongibello in Italian, which means beautiful mountain. And beautiful she is.
While painting this work of art, I especially was influenced by the forms and colours of the white thin clouds against the blue skies and the shape and greyish colours of the once red hot lava. In the grey lava stone there were still some remains, stripes, of snow. Even though it already was September. In the cones of Mount Etna there was a palette of brown, beige almost yellow colours of rock. Contrasting magnificently against the grey. Loved this colour combination and put it in this painting.
This painting can be well combined with the other painting based on the same inspiration; Mungibeddu part II.
