Almost to Canada, Glacier Nat'l Park is a spectacular place. Great camping and hiking. I did get a ticket for leaving my cooler out on the picnic table while we went for a hike....that is big bear territory. Didn't see any, but while on a hike, I saw a path that looked like a steam roller came through. Flattened and broken bushes and plants! Whatever it was...it was BIG...
Same trip, traveling north we stayed with dear friends in Montana, at the south end of Flathead Lake. That was some kinda COLD water.
This was a fabulous trip 2 summers ago with my girls. We rented a car in Salt Lake City, and meandered our way up the Rockies....
Another watercolor from that same day...
This lovely day in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I hiked with my dog and camped at a nearby family campground. I would paint with watercolors on the trail and then head back to the campsite and paint them in oil. It is a real drag to carry a wet oil painting around with you while you are hiking...
No, I haven't been there lately...but in an effort to make some July entries, I am going to drag out some watercolors from some wonderful vacations. I almost always paint while I am away. These next set of watercolors are from various trips over the past few years.
The Nantucket painting came to be on a very cold day in March. In fact, it was so cold, that the washes froze on the paper...
