Our March weather remains typical for us. Everyone is complaining about the weather so that is an indication that it is normal. The mountains are getting good snows but we could use a little more around here. The last few days have been on again off again blizzard conditions for 10 minutes then clearing off. Today is especially cold and will not get to freezing. I did a little photographing above the studio including this shot of the Ramshorn Peak between snow squalls.

My painting-A-day for today is this watercolor of The Grand Teton. It is 5"x8". If interested please e-mail me at gkeimg@dteworld.com or visit my gallery website at http://www.silversagegallery.com/

A painting depicting the Buffalo River as it snakes along its Willow covered bottomlands after its tumuluous descent out of the Teton Wilderness on its way to Join the Snake River at Moran Jct. The Grand Teton is always the backdrop vista to this beautiful little river.

Spring does not really exist in our area. If it does it is on July 5th then summer begins July 6. I know this is a fact when I see snow falling on most July 4th's. This year is no exception. Global warming and all. I have been hitting it pretty hard between painting and working at some remodeling projects at my gallery, Silver Sage Gallery in Dubois. My wife and I did take some time off to go for an afternoon hike yesterday along the East Fork River N E of Town. Although we were dressed in winter attire and even felt the wind chill along the cottonwood bottoms of the river it was pleasant to just get out and see what is happening. Lots of Mule Deer around and signs of Elk that spent some time here this past winter. We even carried bear spray just in case. Grizzlies are just coming out of hibernation and it is good insurance to have that with you. Lots of beaver sign in the area and it is interesting to see how they are contributing to the ecological well being of the river bottom. By the time we leave the clouds are thickening and snow showers are falling on both the Wind River mountains to the south and the Absarokas to the north. During the night we do get an inch. Not much but a gentle reminder that winter is sure a lot closer than Spring?

Other subject matter that is in the immediate area includes the nations largest Bighorn Sheep herd. Wolves and thousands of Elk also call Dubois home. Living on the River I have many songbirds and waterfowl just out my studio window. It all makes for the perfect life.

From my studio I have many visitors to accompany me as I go about my work. They are all a pleasant diversion. This cottontail has become a real welfare case and is waiting in the morning for his daily carrot. We began the winter with 4 rabbits around but with two neighborhood Great Horned Owls this little fellow[gal]is the lone survivor. Bobcats and coyotes are also a challenge from him and I have seen both around the yard. Have had a cougar now and then in the area but have not seen one around the immediate yard. Eagles and hawks are also visitors. Had a black bear a few years ago and a grizzly down river from us also several years ago. Mule Deer are frequent visitors and we used to have Moose as regular occupants up to about 5 or 6 years ago but with the incresased building with newcomers moving into our area that has changed. The new folks seem to love cutting the willows and other food and cover that wildlife need. Trying to get things just like it was back home. They love it here then try altering it. I don't understand their thinking.

I have gone back to work on my Cougar painting and spent most of the day detailing and adjusting values. After a few days of drying I will get to the detailing of the cougar himself.
