That's what the repetitive process of depicting mountains is all about, with each painting I’m getting closer to knowing what it means to me

This was a hike I’d come across sometime in the doldrums of fall or winter, idly perusing google maps for points of interest.

There have been three stand-out hikes in the last two months. The common thread be the complete, 360° view in every direction.

I couldn't stop thinking about the giant poplar trees that tower over Antelope's main street, swallowing the ancient, spindly houses.

The more I ascended this hike, the more enchanting it became.

I went back and hiked out as far as I could into the Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness with my cumbersome sack of oil painting gear.

I just want to share more about some of the amazing places I’ve experienced and how they inspire me to create.
