I went on our annual Extreme Plein Air trip into the proposed Scotchman Peak Wilderness Area this weekend. This year fellow artist Aaron Johnson, and our guide Sandy Compton traversed up into the East Fork of Blue Creek. We saw some amazing country, discovered hidden waterfalls, ate many huckleberries, and created lots of art……and almost died, but that is par for the course.

Roll and Rumble
A quick gouache sketch at the mouth of Prospect Creek as I try to beat the summer heat.
After The Storm
I love painting in the mornings after a good thunderstorm in the night, and the hole valley is covered in blankets of rising mist.
Eddy Flats
I love these turbulent spring days that bring a mix of sun and rain. They end up filling the sky with a beautiful tapestry of artist clouds.
Clark Fork River
A quick plein air sketch this morning between the passing rain storms.
Dam Fury
A couple of quick plein air sketches today as I found a nice spot below the dam to witness it’s raging fury.
Spring On The Flats
A quick plein air this evening on Rives BFK. This lonely looking pine out on the flats captured my attention.
Evening In The Big Sky
A couple of quick plein air sketches as I enjoy a beautiful evening in the Big Sky Country.
Tarzan – Lord of the Jungle
I am a big fan of Tarzan,…..and Edgar Rice Burroughs for that matter. It’s hard to pick a favorite; whether it is the inner world of Pelucidar, the jungles of Africa, or far across the blackness of space to the surface of Mars. I find all of his works fascinating.
Sketch-A-Bout
More little gouache/watercolor studies as I get out and enjoy the beautiful spring weather.
