The Fisherman

When visiting Yellowstone I glimpsed this scene as we drove past and asked Al to stop and let me take a picture.  After I got out of the car I saw the fisherman.  What a beautiful place and day to fish!  This scene was quite difficult to paint.  The reflections in the water were a real challenge!  But the challenging paintings are the ones that teach you the most.

Along the Yellowstone

On our receint trip to Yellowstone, I took many pictures of a bison herd by the Yellowstone River.  This one was very large and muscular.   I enjoyed painting him against the backdrop of the river.

On our recent trip to Glacier National Park, my husband and I, along with friends, hiked along Avalanche Creek.  What a beautiful hike that was--breathtaking!  I had such an enjoyable time painting this one.  The movement of the water was a challenge to capture, but exciting to paint.  I took quite a few photos on our trip through Yellowstone, Glacier, the Tetons, and the Wind River area.  This is the first one I've painted since our return.

A few years ago, on a trip to Zion National Park, Al and I hiked up to the top of Angel's Landing.  This painting was done from a photo I took at the top.  That was quite a hike, but the view was well worth it!  I'm not sure we would be able to hike that one again.  I love the colors in the national parks in Utah!  They're such fun to paint!

I have painted this scene of the Virgin river near Zion Nation Park a few times in the past and have never been fully satisfied with the results.  So I tried another small one of this scene.  I'm still not really satisfied with it, so I will probably try try again.

I painted this one several years ago and decided to paint it again.  I started the painting a month ago before our trip to Glacier National Park and finished it yesterday.  I took many photos of landscapes and wildlife on our trip through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana that I plan on using for new paintings.

I painted this scene from a photo I took near Gunnison, Colorado last year.  When we travel through that part of the country, we often stop at a rest stop before we get to Blue Mesa Reservoire and take a walk along the river.  The photo of this scene was taken from the bridge that crosses a stream that flows into the river.  It is such a beautiful area--this painting really takes me back!
