GRAND TETONS JUNE MORNING

 


Painted in June 2024 at my home in Provo, Utah. I used a painting on-line as a model for my painting. Done in oil.  I began this painting trying to use Bob Ross's painting style, but I discovered that the complexities of edges, shadows, and such, along with my lack of expertise in this method made it difficult. So, I resorted to brush instead of knife. I'll keep trying. 

I grew up on the Idaho side of the Teton Range. I love the Tetons and its foliage and wildlife. The Jackson Hole side, with the Snake River flowing through, brings back the Old West in me. I love the hushed, secluded meadows in pine forests, and the flowing streams, all punctuated by the great peaks.
