I must be having an Oil painting block as yesterday I could not seem to get enthused enough to work on my Deer painting so I went to my watercolors and began this 11"x20" Gouache Watercolor on 300#Arches Watercolor paper. Got the background in and the middle trees along with the Hay meadow started. I plan to have a big old Cottonwood coming up from the foreground that will work perfectly to give me some verticle to all the horizontal I have going on. This is a scene from the Upper Platte River valley south of Saratoga, Wyoming. After Dubois this is one of my favorite places in the country.

Wow! Fantastic sky.
Your Deer painting is really coming along. I can' wait to see it finished.
i was expecting to see the deer painting finished and have been pleasently surprised by this breath taking piece. and good to hear i'm not alone in the painter's block division:)
Look at those gorgeous storm clouds! I can't wait to see this finished Gary!
Wonderful sky Gary!
Love the hills in the distance. As for the oil painting block, yup - get some tunes on and get swinging those hips! :-)
