Gros Ventre reveal


I had the great fortune to spend 16 days of eye bending beauty camping in the Grand Tetons
and Yellowstone. The experience was a solo moving and grounding moment.I want to thank
my good friend Bud Fields for talking
me in to going. He had been after me for three years.
I only can say I'm glad he is so persistent. Thank You - Thank- You- Thank You
.


The painting above is not a panoramic of the Tetons but there are several in the works.
This painting was part
of the Gros Ventre River next to our camp ground. There alone a
paintings in every other step, again just incredible.


I can only hope to capture the feelings I have for this experience in the
paintings that will come from my first visit.
