Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. Hilton describes Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains.
This painting has an otherworldly feeling, almost in the sci-fi vein, although that was not what I was going for. It had a mind of its own during creation, and we went through many different compositional iterations before this one emerged. The elements I love most about this painting are its texture, thin black lines, and pan pastel dust.
This piece is unframed but is wired for hanging.
