Certificate of Authenticity Included

It was hot, hot, hot in Bozeman this June 0f 2021. We set up our easels at the edge of an aspen tree grove for some shade. I painted two scenes from this spot at Graf Park, the other down a trail in an aspen tree grove.. These two pieces comprise the first in my Bozeman series. They’re both heady with blue shade and sunny, toasty yellow.

Bird Springs Creek runs through downtown Bozeman and its surrounding suburbs. You’re looking at swirls on the surface of the creek from where I planted my easel at its edge. Playful light dots dance on lime colored grass along with red and orange wild flowers. They create a lush groundcover over which the arching aspen bow, providing the gentle shushing leaf sounds and the shade we so enjoy on this hot day. And through this lush cover threads the creek we listen to while we watch it flow around the bend..

This work is stretched and prewired and ready to enrich your space. It is mounted on 1-1/2" deep museum stretcher bars which are painted as 3D extensions of the main image.
