Montana landscape

Another scene from beautiful Montana in the fall.  Nature has so much character!
Continuing to play with distance and looser strokes and bigger brushes.

Having fun working on some landscapes from places I have visited and have happy memories with friends.  This one was on a fishing/hunting trip in Montana.  While others were shooting pheasant, I was shooting this!  Been playing with distances, the last one I painted was far distance and this one sits in front of hills of trees.  Fun with values.

Teton Marsh

I had this small and different canvas that I wanted to try out with a landscape with lots of depth.  Took this shot during a visit to the Grand Tetons in Wyoming.  Lots of marsh looking toward Lake Jackson and the mountain range on a typically grayish day.

Lost Maple

Fall color from the beautiful Lost Maples State Park in Texas.  Sometimes I like to loosen up by just using a palate knife with lots of colors.
