Teton Mountain Range

I started this piece En Plein Air while standing at this very spot, Schwabacher’s Landing in the Grand Teton National Park. It was a beautiful June day, Father’s Day Weekend, and I was there painting for the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s Annual Plein Air Invitational event. The place was filled with people enjoying the view and I enjoyed interacting with so many of them as they seemed to be very curious about an artist at work. The experience was so enjoyable, my challenge was walking, standing, even sitting while dealing with my right hip replacement seriously needing revision, causing me so much pain. In the end of the day, I was pleased with outcome as I wanted to achieve looser, fluid brushwork and vibrant colors.
