I'm excited to post this new large painting I just finished. You might recognize it as a bigger version of an earlier painting, with a few changes. I had my sights set on this location for years, before I was finally able to hike to it last summer with a fellow artist. It's been so satisfying to see this idea made "incarnate" after first seeing a picture of the scene, then finding it on a map, finding the right summer to do the trip, going through all the logistics that come with doing a multi-day hike, and then painting multiple studies that later resulted in the painting. As an aside, I tried to paint the water in this in a way that would show how windy it was when we were there. Which leads me to the video I'm attaching that shows the moment we almost lost @bsamuelsonart to that wind!!! I'm joking slightly, but if you look closely in the video, the creek outlet he almost slipped into was fast moving and covered in logs, it would have been a bad day had he fallen in. Epic memories from an epic trip! 40x60 . . . . . #dangeroushiking #windrivermountains #ilovewyoming #pleinairpainting #landscapepaintings
