Mountain Art: “Mountain Peaks of Tantalus” - Squamish, BC By artist Graham Watts

Mountain Peaks of Tantalus is an original oil painting on canvas by Canadian artist Graham Watts, measuring 30 x 40 inches.

Inspired by the dramatic beauty of British Columbia’s Sea to Sky region, this painting captures the powerful presence of the Tantalus Range, one of the most recognizable mountain ranges visible from the famous highway between Vancouver, Squamish, and Whistler.

In this piece, Graham brings the mountains to life with sharp snow-covered peaks, deep blues, glowing highlights, and a striking sunset sky filled with warmth and energy. The contrast between the cool mountain snow and the fiery colours above creates a bold, cinematic feeling that draws the viewer into the landscape.

A small skier has been added to the composition, giving a sense of scale and reminding us just how vast and awe-inspiring these mountains truly are. This detail adds a human connection to the scene, making the painting feel both adventurous and deeply personal.

Painted with expressive detail and vibrant colour, Mountain Peaks of Tantalus is ideal for collectors who love British Columbia landscapes, mountain art, skiing, Whistler, Squamish, and the rugged beauty of the West Coast.
