This scene is from a trip we took a few years back to Rocky Mountain National Park. I’ve posted a couple of other paintings from there. I’ll probably do more. Practically anywhere you look there you’ll find subject matter.
This particular stream is on a hike up to Emerald Lake and you can go even further if you have the wind. The big boulders in streams like this always amaze me. These aren’t so big but there are some in the Tallulah River up in North Georgia that are bigger than that Cadillac Escalade that was tailing you today. One I’m familiar with would make a nice sized two room cabin if it were hollow.
That’s a good project. Hike to “The Boulder” and place “The Wife” in the stream beside it and sketch it for reference to size. Perhaps I’ll do that later this year.
For now, we’re off to Seattle and Victoria for a four day vacation (flights were on sale and cheap from Atlanta). I’m going to sketch a lot. “Sketch or Bust” is my motto on this trip.
I’ll post the results upon my return.
BTW, posts have been sparse this month and for that I apologize. I’ll make up for it when I return. Sometimes life gets a bit hectic as I’m sure you all know.

Very nice, Don. Vibrant color. I’ve missed you!
Neat painting. I like the way you organized the shapes in the composition.
Wow! Double Karens!
Thanks for the comments to you both. I’ll have a more productive September and visit more too.
I’ve just discovered your blog through Ebay and it’s just fascinating. I’d like to come back often to see what you and doing. Would you mind if I placed a link to you on my blog?
Hi Bee,
I’ll do the same if you like. Let me know.
Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words. I’d be honored to have a link on your blog. Thanks for the offer
