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.
