Alpenglow and Mout Washington

What is Alpenglow-Alpenglow is a beautiful natural phenomenon that occurs when the sun is just below the horizon, casting a reddish glow on the mountains. This glow is caused by the scattering of sunlight by particles in the atmosphere. The term "alpenglow" comes from the German word "Alpenglühen," which means "Alps glow." It usually happens during sunrise and sunset.

Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeastern United States, is a particularly stunning sight during alpenglow. As the sun rises or sets, casting its warm light on the mountain's slopes, the peak is bathed in a soft, ethereal glow. This phenomenon, known as alpenglow, creates a breathtaking view.

Why artist love to paint this glow is that during the blue and white colored winter months the Alpenglow produces a magnificent pink band of color over the mountains just for a few minutes at the horizon line.

Buy Local and Support your Community

My Favorite benefit of buying local is that the money usually stays in the town that you bought art and gifts from, not some far away country or large corporation.

Before you buy a present that needs an extended warranty, let me suggest a lasting gift-giving alternative: Put some local art under the tree. It gives such a warm feeling when you invest in local artists. In away it is an extension of a strong community

So if you’re looking for a special Christmas gift — something that will stand the test of time — without getting mixed up with thrill-seeking Black Friday shoppers, think of your local artists willing to help your shopping with their art.
