Original Sunset Mountain Landscape Painting on Canvas

This item is an original landscape oil or acrylic painting on stretched canvas, currently displayed on a metal floor easel. The composition features a prominent jagged mountain peak in the center, rendered with heavy impasto texture to suggest rocky crags using a palette knife technique. The color palette is vibrant and surreal, utilizing deep blues, fiery oranges, and vivid pinks to represent a sunset sky that is perfectly reflected in the calm lake at the mountain's base. To the left, a tall deciduous tree with autumnal foliage frames the scene, while a smaller, bare 'skeleton' tree stands to the right. The technique is clearly inspired by the 'wet-on-wet' style popularized by artists like Bob Ross, characterized by fan-brush foliage and stippled greenery in the foreground. The painting is signed in red in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'W.S.' followed by a '97', suggesting it was painted in 1997. The canvas appears to be in good condition with no visible tears or significant fading, though there is some minor paint transfer on the easel resting bar. The craftsmanship indicates a dedicated amateur or hobbyist painter with proficiency in textural application and atmospheric perspective.
