About this work

This painting shows a mountain with sun rays shining down on it. The mountain is drawn in blue and the sun rays are in red. There are some other lines and marks on the painting, but they don't seem to be part of the mountain or the sun rays. The painting is made with wax crayon, which gives it a rough, textured look. The colors are not very bright, but they are still noticeable. The overall effect is one of simplicity and calmness.
