Morning on the Creek
9x12 oil

I'm back from Wyoming where I spent some time painting at the 7D Ranch
in Cody. This is the third time I've been there and it's always a
great time. Our band of merry artists was smaller this time but it's
always a treat to spend time with this group as we've formed a special
bond over the years.
The
weather was perfect, as was the scenery. Pretty much every waking hour
was spent outdoors. I just couldn't seem to soak up enough of the
peaceful beauty of this area. No bears this year, though there were
plenty of bear attack stories told around the fire. (thanks, John!) The
extent of wildlife was limited to the mouse in my cabin and the cows
from the neighboring ranch. They broke out and hung out around the
cabins for a while until the cowboys showed up to wrangle them home.
This was the first painting of the trip. Standing on the bridge overlooking the creek, the morning started out calm but soon the wind picked up and I had to finish quickly while holding down my easel.
More to come!
