In between plein air painting this summer ('tis the season!), I have fit in some studio painting, too. This was done during one of our Art Live! events here at the Gallery this summer - when we invited people in to 'watch the process'. So if you were here watching it's creation - you can now see the finished product!... I love seeing bison in the geyser basin by Old Faithful - it's a quintessential Yellowstone image to me. For the composition, I concentrated on creating interesting shapes on the canvas. And the warm and cool colors made it fun to paint. Over the years, I've collected some great antique frames - this is one of them. I thought it went really well with the painting.
