Mt. Moran in Grand Teton National Park

.  Mt. Moran is a mountain in Grand Teton National Park.  The mountain is named for Thomas Moran, an American frontier artist.  It dominates the northern section of the Tetons.  Several active glaciers exist on the mountain with the Skillet Glacier planily visible on the monolithic east face.
Mount Moran's face is marked by a distinctive basalt intrusion known as the Black Dik.

This is a studio landscape,  painted from studies I made on a visit to the Park
Oil on canvas.  24x32,  $3,840  SOLD

Painting en plein air


The artist at work at the site - Red Rock Crossing.  The day I painted this  a wedding was taking place on the other side of the creek.  As the bride was waiting to cross over, she told me she wanted the painting.  I finished it and mailed it to her for a unique memento of their wedding day.
And certainly a joy for me,  too.  See below.  Oil on Canvas 11x14.

Red Rock Crossing


This is surely one of the most photographed and painted places in Sedona.  It is easy to see why.
