Morning Mist on Medicine Lake
oil on canvas

Although I have been going to our mountains since childhood I have never tired of their majesty. Using a pallette knife, I try to bring out their rugged grandeur, and the flowing color of the rocks and foliage. Obviously I can only spend a small part of my time there, and also I enjoy the challenge of painting still life and flowers.
