Original Tantalus Range Mountain Landscape Painting – Squamish, BC
Mountain Peaks of Tantalus captures one of the most unforgettable mountain views along British Columbia’s Sea-to-Sky Highway.
Sharp, snow-covered peaks rise beneath a fiery sunset sky. Cool blues and violets move through the snow, while glowing orange, pink and gold illuminate the atmosphere above the mountains. Look carefully and you will discover a lone skier within the immense landscape, providing a powerful sense of scale.
The Story Behind Mountain Peaks of Tantalus
The Tantalus Range is one of the defining mountain views of the Sea-to-Sky corridor. For Graham, the range represents the scale and energy of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains.
Cool blue shadows describe the structure of the snow-covered peaks while a warm sunset introduces orange, pink and golden light. The small skier adds a quiet human story—a reminder of how small we are within the landscape.
