No. 799 Return to the Tetons

Return to the Tetons

Oil on Canvas Panel

9" x 12"

This was painted from a photo I took a few years ago in the gorgeous Tetons. Who knew Wyoming could be so beautiful? It was painted as a class demo. This photo doesn't do it justice but I'm really pleased how well the painting turned out.

If you are in the Mill Creek area stop by and say "hi" at the Mill Creek Festival this weekend. It's my first time having a booth there and I'd love to see some friendly faces.

On an entirely separate note, a shout out to Sister Florence, my aunt-in-law and one of my most faithful blog followers. She's not is not doing so well these days and I just wanted to say thank you for looking at all my posts and telling me how much you enjoy them. It means a whole lot to me. Lots of love to you, Sister!

Taking a little break from the pastries. I had several requests in class last fall to learn more about landscape painting. So that's been our focus since the beginning of the year. I used a photo I took in the Tetons and did a demonstration of  Mitch Albala's underpainting technique. Hmmmm, there is no way for you to see that. I should have taken pictures of each step. Next time!

Still on my Tetons kick. This was one of the many stunning locations we painted at during my workshop with Jim Wilcox. What an amazing treat that workshop was.

I consider this painting still a work in progress. If I get a chance, I will go back and adjust a few things. This is definitely the down side to daily painting. It's hard to find the time to go back and work on paintings that could use a little more thought. At least they very rarely suffer the fate of being "overworked". :)

If there is a name for people who are endlessly fascinated by the Teton Mountains, that name would have to be applied to me. A Tetonatic? A Fana-Teton? Anyway, I am constantly inspired by this amazing place.
