This is another quick post from the Yellowstone trip we took in 2000. As I mentioned in the last post, Yellowstone presents other-worldly landscapes.
Grand Prismatic Spring is in the Midway Geyser Basin alongside the Firehole River. It’s the largest hot spring in the U.S. and third largest in the world.
You just want to stand there like a zombie and stare at it. The tourists around you suddenly seem to be very distant as your mind lets go of your troubles and concerns and you enter a zone of non-thought. Many places in nature provide that sort of solace. We’re blessed here in North America with an abundance of them.
This little painting is up for auction at eBay if you are interested.

Don, I’m crazy about these last two Yellowstone paintings. They are BEAUTIFUL!
Hi Lindsay,
I have another one coming tomorrow.
Thanks for the kind words
Great pallette on this, Don. Never been to Yellowstone, but I’ve seen the photos and know what you mean about that otherworldly beauty. It’s like the Painted Desert that way, I’ll bet. Nice painting, and you should definitely sell this as an ACEO.
Hi Karen,
I’d like to see the Painted Desert, never been.
Thanks for the comment
Yellowstone is well worth the trip. Gotta be for a week at least though. Stay at the Old Faithful Inn or the Lodge if you ever go.
You should go
Sketch, paint, relax, wonder…
This painting is more beautiful in real life than I could have imagined! Splendid work. Can’t wait to get it framed. Thanks, Don.
Hi Gwynne,
Send me a photo after you frame it. I like to see the various ways people frame these little pieces.
Thanks for the kind words
