Here is a batch of new plein air paintings I completed this last week on a horseback trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness.  Our trip started out in Augusta, we then rode up and camped close to the Chinese Wall.  These paintings were completed at different points along the journey.  All of the paintings are gouache/watercolor on illustration board.

I recently completed this shot, and another, for a calendar titled “Glacial Lake Missoula – Sanders County by Air”, with aerial photos by Dave Bennett.  This image was painted to show what Glacial Lake Missoula might have looked liked, and the massive 2000 ft ice dam that held back the waters.

Just returned from a horseback trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. The great part was that I was able to attach my painting gear onto the back of some unsuspecting mule. Another bonus was that I got to eat much better than I do on most of my backpacking trips. Here are my paintings from the trip, as well as a few photos.
