Misty River in Yellowstone, oil on linen panel, 12"x16"

This painting was based on the field study I posted on July 4th, which was done in Yellowstone National Park. All I can say is that I love this painting because I loved being in the place it was based upon. It has been said that true art shouldn't need words to explain it; it should be able to explain itself. I hope that is what I achieved with this painting.

Teal in Morning Mist, oil on linen, 18"x24"

This painting was inspired by a compositional idea I had after visiting the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming this last June. If you like wildlife art at all, you cannot help being inspired by all the beautiful artwork that is in there. I wanted to show the solitude of a morning pond in early spring. Looking at a scene like this I can hear the other ducks quaking and splashing off in the distance, in the mist of their courtship rituals.
