Les Dents du Midi Digital Paintings

Swiss Alps Champéry

The Dents du Midi dominate the skyline above Champéry and the Val d’Illiez. These digital paintings explore the mountain in changing light, seasons and colours. From winter ski scenes to summer alpine landscapes.

All works are originally painted digitally, combining drawing, colour layering and painterly brushwork. Many of these Dents du Midi paintings are available as limited edition giclée prints on fine art paper.

At the bottom of the page more information about Les Dents du Midi.

Les Dents du Midi translates to “Teeth of Midday”.  A multi-summited mountain in the Chablais Alps composed of seven distinct summits which reaches a height of 3’257 metres.  It’s the highest mountain between Lac Leman (lake Geneva) and the Mont Blanc Massif, and dominates the Rhône Valley from Martigny to the lake.  The name Dents du Midi is of relatively recent origin, referring to the time of day at which the sun reaches a certain point.  The native inhabitants originally called them the “Dents de Tsallen” (“teeth of Tsallen“).  The present Haute Cime was then called Dent du Midi, and it eventually gave its name to the entire mountain.  Information from Wikipedia

Champéry is a wonderful village at the end of the road up into the Dents du Midi valley from Val-d’Illiez.  Champéry was first mentioned in 1286, it’s now our home and every day I’m inspired by the magnificent image of the Dents du Midi.  On this page I’m presenting my digitally painted impressions, and via this link you can see my mixed media paintings.
