I have been spending quite a bit of time in the mountains the past week with a little bit of guiding thrown in along with a very busy gallery I have not had a lot of time at the easle but I have begun several oil paintings including this 18"x24" Oil on Canvas. I began with an acrylic underpainting as I have been doing recently and now am using oil and beginning my detasil work. It is from several photographs of Bear Creek NE of Dubois that I took last fall. Such a beautiful ara in the fall with cottonwoods, Spruce and Pine.
